Abstract

This paper presents a review of the most popular isolated DC/DC converters topologies. Presented solutions are divided to two main groups.
First- unidirectional soft switched isolated DC/DC converters and the second one- bidirectional soft switched isolated DC/DC converters. It introduced
also a two main DC/DC converters control methods. The collected results of research, simulations and tests of individual solutions carried out with
different assumptions allowed for the preparation of a summary. The formulated conclusions can define the direction of development of resonant
converters and a specific starting point for further research on control algorithms as well as improving the efficiency of DC converters.
