Abstract

A recent paper improved the state of the art for resonant class-E dc/dc converters by relaying their design on the solution of an associated non-linear dimensionless mathematical system. We show in this paper that when the associated nonlinear system can be solved, the solution is not always unique. By considering a simple case study we are able to compute two different solutions leading to two different designs. In the first one the main spectral component of voltage and current waveforms is located around the first clock harmonic, and around the second harmonic in the other solution. Interestingly, the latter design leads to a reduction either in the size of inductors/transformers or in the oscillation frequency (a 2.46× factor), and also a non-negligible improvement in the converter efficiency (from 74.1% to 75.8%).
