Abstract
Power converter electronic circuitries configured to harvest and store energy from at least the parasitic oscillation occurring during the operation thereof. Methodologies of using such energy for the current injection, carried out by discharging the parasitic capacitance across the switching elements to achieve zero voltage switching condition for these switching elements. In a specific case, the methodology of current injection (with the use of so harvested and stored energy) is self-adjusting, causing the optimization of the energy required to discharge the parasitic capacitance.
