The problems associated with insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) devices in PWM converters, such as turn-off current tailing and turn-off latching, are largely avoided in zero-current switching resonant converters. Phenomena induced by dv/dt, such as the power losses and latching, are identified as the predominant problems in using IGBT devices for very-high-frequency resonant operations. The discussion and the verification of the results presented are focused on buck-type converters in the zero-current switching family.>
