Patent number: 11764693Abstract: A direct current-direct current (DC-DC) converter includes a plurality of switches configured to be coupled to a voltage source. The DC-DC converter also includes a transformer having a primary winding coupled to the plurality of switches and a secondary winding. The DC-DC converter further includes a first capacitor; and a second capacitor, wherein the first capacitor is coupled in series with the primary winding, the second capacitor is coupled in parallel with the secondary winding. The first capacitor, the second capacitor, and a leakage inductance of the transformer form a dual-capacitor resonant circuit.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2022Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteInventors: Leila Parsa, Rohit Suryadevara
