This paper presents a novel zero voltage transition (ZVT) boost converter that can be used in the photovoltaic (PV) array sources to reduce the switching losses. The auxiliary circuit used in the proposed converter is implemented by using only one auxiliary switch and a minimum number of passive components without an important increase in the cost and complexity. The main advantage of the proposed converter is that it not only provides ZVT in the boost switch but also provides soft switching in the auxiliary switch. The proposed soft switched boost converter is analyzed theoretically. The theoretical analysis is verified via simulation and experimental studies. The experimental results are in very good agreement with the simulation results of the circuit.
