Abstract
This paper describes the analysis and design of
a DC-DC converter topology which is operational at frequencies
in the Very High Frequency (VHF) band ranging from
30 MHz − 300 MHz. The presented topology, which consists
of a class E inverter, class E rectifier, and self-oscillating gate
driver, is inherently resonant, and switching losses are greatly
reduced by ensuring Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) of the
power semiconductor devices. A design method to ensure ZVS
operation when combining the inverter, rectifier, and gate driver
is provided. Several parasitic effects and their influence on
converter operation are discussed, and measurement results of a
100 MHz prototype converter are presented and evaluated. The
designed prototype converter verifies the described topology.
