Abstract
A switch-mode DC-DC power converter including an input port and an output port, wherein the switch-mode DC-DC power converter includes a hard-switching circuit. The switch-mode DC-DC power converter further includes a first capacitance, a first inductance and a soft-switching circuit. The first capacitance is coupled in parallel across one of input and output ports at one side of the hard-switching circuit whereas the first inductance is coupled in series with another of the input and output ports and the hard-switching circuit at a second side of the hard-switching circuit opposite the first capacitance. A soft-switching circuit includes a second capacitance, a second inductance, a first rectifying element and a controlled discharger. The first rectifying element is coupled to the second inductance and the second capacitance. The controlled discharger is coupled to the second capacitance.
