The use of soft-switching techniques, interleaved topologies and silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs can improve the efficiency and power-density of high-power, high-voltage DC-DC converters for electric vehicle and aircraft applications. In this paper, to extend the operating range of the Snubber Assisted Zero Voltage and Zero Current Transition (SAZZ) dual-interleaved boost converter beyond its inherent soft-switching limit of D=0.5, a resonant pulse transformer is proposed instead of the resonant inductor to enable soft-switching over the full duty ratio range. The 2:1 turns ratio of the transformer ensures full discharge of the snubber capacitor at all duty ratio values to facilitate zero voltage zero current switching (ZVZCS) at turn on of the main switching devices. The effectiveness of the topology has been confirmed by SPICE simulation and demonstrated by a multi-kW SiC MOSFET based SAZZ converter.
