This paper presents steady-state analytical expressions of the class-D zero-voltage switching inverter at any duty ratio along with a design example. The obtained expressions include stead-state voltage and current waveforms, output power capability, peak switch voltage, peak switch current, output power, and power conversion efficiency as functions of the duty ratio. Additionally, switching-timing allowance due to antiparallel diodes of switching devices can be predicted from the analytical results. The analytical expressions are verified by showing quantitative agreements with PSpice simulations and circuit experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper presents analytical expressions for steady-state waveforms, output power, and power conversion efficiency for the class-E inverter outside the class-E zero-voltage switching and zero-derivative switching conditions. The analytical expressions in this paper include the MOSFET-body-diode effect. By carrying out PSpice simulations and circuit experiments, it is shown that the analytical predictions agree with the simulated and experimental results quantitatively, which indicates the validity of the analytical expressions. Additionally, the switching-pattern distribution maps are also given by using the analytical waveform equations. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
