Abstract
A device [] is configured to detect a zero voltage switching (ZVS) circuit [] output that includes a hard switching signal. The hard switching signal [] includes a false signal [] and a spike signal []. Thereafter, the device generates digital pulse signals [] that correspond to the false signal and the spike signal. Accordingly, the device filters the generated digital pulse signal that corresponds to the false signal [], and uses the digital pulse signal [] that corresponds to the spike signal for adjusting a timing [] of a pulse width modulation (PWM) switching cycle [Vgs ].
