Abstract: An apparatus for zero voltage switching includes a ZVS assist circuit connected between a switching node and a negative connection of a converter. The switching node is located between first and second switches of a switching leg of the converter. The converter is fed by a constant current source and feeds a constant current load. The ZVS assist circuit includes a ZVS inductance, a first ZVS switch that allows current through the ZVS inductance to change a voltage of the switching node to a condition for zero voltage switching of the first switch of the switching leg, and a second ZVS switch that allows current through the ZVS inductance to change the voltage of the switching node to a condition for zero voltage switching of the second switch of the switching leg. Current through the first ZVS switch is opposite current through the second ZVS switch.
