Abstract
A switching power conversion system includes a main power circuit structured to convert power from a power source at an input voltage to an output voltage using a first inductive current. The power conversion system also includes a secondary power circuit structured to scale the first inductive current to a second inductive current smaller than the first inductive current by a scaling factor. A controller is configured to control operations of the main power circuit and the secondary power circuit. Zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) is detected by sensing voltages across switches on the secondary power circuit. Accuracy can thus be improved. Output current of the conversion system is also determined by monitoring the voltage across a sense resistor in the secondary power circuit, which is a scaled representation of the output current, thus power loss can be reduced.
