contents This paper proposes a method to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) across the full duty cycle range in hybrid flying capacitor multilevel (FCML) converters, eliminating the need for dynamic level changing and active re-balancing. Utilizing skipped adjacency pulse width modulation (SAPWM), this approach avoids the nearest pole voltage level, thereby increasing volt-seconds within specific duty cycle range. The method uses a modified PWM scheme, which preserves effective pole voltage by changing duty reference and employing digital logic processing. Simulation results verify the proposed method achieving full-range ZVS. This SAPWM technique is compatible with hybrid FCML converters with various levels, offering enhanced efficiency and reduced switching losses.
