Abstract:
A method of operating a converter includes a transformer having a first winding and a second winding; a first full-bridge coupled to the first winding of the transformer; and a second full-bridge coupled to the second winding of the transformer. The method includes: injecting an auxiliary current into the second full-bridge, where the injected auxiliary current causes a voltage across a transistor of the first full-bridge to decrease; and turning on the transistor of the first full-bridge a first time period after injecting the auxiliary current.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of operating a converter comprising a transformer having a first winding and a second winding; a first full-bridge coupled to the first winding of the transformer; and a rectifier circuit coupled to the second winding of the transformer; the method comprising:\n injecting an auxiliary current into the rectifier circuit via an auxiliary inductor that is directly connected to the rectifier circuit, wherein the injected auxiliary current causes a voltage across a transistor of the first full-bridge to decrease, and injecting the auxiliary current into the rectifier circuit comprises connecting the auxiliary inductor to an auxiliary capacitor by turning on an auxiliary transistor coupled between the auxiliary capacitor and the auxiliary inductor; disconnecting the auxiliary inductor from the auxiliary capacitor by turning off the auxiliary transistor; and turning on the transistor of the first full-bridge a first time period after injecting the auxiliary current.
