General description
The ZVS100 board is basically a power
oscillator which is used in applications like
driving a flyback transformer or an
induction heating coil.
This board has 4 high quality capacitors
which are connected in parallel with the
output coil. Thus, the oscillation frequency
is determined by the resonant frequency of
the resulting tank circuit.
As the flyback is driven in resonance with
the boards capacitors, this sort of flyback
driver is called resonant driver. More
specifically its a ZVS flyback driver (Zero
Voltage Switching).
ZVS means that the boards transistors
switch off when their Vds voltage is already
0V. This leads to no voltage spikes on the
transistors drain and therefore a more
robust and durable board.
Another important consequence of all of the
above is a considerably good power
efficiency by which this board doesnt need a
heat sink.
