Two types of softTwo types of soft--switchingswitching
ZVSZVS——ZeroZero--voltage switchingvoltage switchingSpecifically means zeroSpecifically means zero--voltage turnvoltage turn--on, i.e., the on, i.e., the voltage across the device is reduced to zero before the voltage across the device is reduced to zero before the current increasescurrent increases
ZCSZCS——ZeroZero--current switchingcurrent switchingSpecifically means zeroSpecifically means zero--current turncurrent turn--off, i.e., the off, i.e., the current flowing through the device is reduced to zero current flowing through the device is reduced to zero before the voltage increasesbefore the voltage increases
