Resonant switch topologies operating under the principle of zero-current switching (ZCS) and zero-voltage switching (ZVS) are introduced to minimize switching losses, stresses, and noises. Using the resonant switch concept, a host of new quasi-resonant converters (QRCs) are derived from conventional PWM converters. They are capable of operating in the megahertz range, with a significant improvement in performance and power density. Performances of ZCS and ZVS QRCs are compared. Power stages, gate drives, and feedback controls are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
