ABSTRACT
This project presents the operating performance of a
switched-capacitor-based resonant converter
(SCRC) to decrease the switching losses.
The presented converter realizes Zero-Voltage
Switching operation.
It achieves a high conversion efficiency by soft
switching technique.
The presented SCRC can reduce its inductor volume
compared with a conventional buck converter.

INTRODUCTION
Switched-capacitor converters (SCRC) have been used as
a simple and low-cost dcdc converter in small power
applications.
The advantage of the SCRC is its small volume because it
needs inductor or transformer.
Recently, resonant power converters consisting of an
SCC and a small-rated resonant inductor have been
proposed to reduce the switching loss.
The resonant converters have an additional small inductor
connected in series with the switched capacitor, leading
to soft-switching operation with a low-switching loss.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This circuit acts as a step-down converter and feeds the output
voltage vout to a load.
The SCRC consists of two half-bridge inverters with four
switching devices S1S4 and a series resonant circuit Lr and
Cr.
Addition of the small inductor Lr is the difference from a
conventional SCC in the circuit configuration, resulting in a
great suppression of spike currents, power losses, and EMI
issues.

MODULE DESCRIPTION
The proposed system is Soft Switching module.
This switching operation significantly reduces the switching
loss and allows us to use low ON-state resistance MOSFETs
with a relatively large output capacitance.
