The proposed topology employs a single ground-referenced power switch, which simplifies the gate drive design with a single L-C resonant network and provides a bipolar output voltage with good regulation, acceptable efficiency and a step-down\/up conversion ratio. This configuration provides dual-output voltage by switching the power switch to zero voltage, which is an interesting alternative for many applications where small size, light weight and high power density are very important aspects. In order to verify its performance, a SEPIC\u2013Cuk Combination ZVS-QR prototype with a cost-effective commercial resonant controller was designed and tested. The experimental results show that the proposed combined topology is suitable for Single-Input Dual-Output (SIDO) applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app13158798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]],"date-time":"2023-07-31T03:30:02Z","timestamp":1690774202000},"page":"8798","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Single-Switch Non-Isolated Resonant DC-DC Converter for Single-Input Dual-Output Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0831-9609","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristian","family":"D\u00edaz-Mart\u00edn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cient\u00edfico-Tecnol\u00f3gico de Huelva (CCTH), University of Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9230-165X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eladio","family":"Dur\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cient\u00edfico-Tecnol\u00f3gico de Huelva (CCTH), University of Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Computer Systems and Automation, University of Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7002-4927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvador P.","family":"Litr\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cient\u00edfico-Tecnol\u00f3gico de Huelva (CCTH), University of Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Electrical and Thermal Engineering, Design and Projects, University of Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2767-7137","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Luis","family":"\u00c1lvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Cient\u00edfico-Tecnol\u00f3gico de Huelva (CCTH), University of Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Information Technologies, University of Huelva, 21007 Huelva, Spain"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Semi\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute Superior of Engineering (ISE), Universidade do Algarve, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"},{"name":"Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores-Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o e Desenvolvimento (INESC-ID), Universidade de Lisboa, 1000-029 Lisboa, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6569","DOI":"10.1109\/TII.2021.3058218","article-title":"A State-of-the-Art Review on Soft-Switching Techniques for DC\u2013DC, DC\u2013AC, AC\u2013DC, and AC\u2013AC Power Converters","volume":"17","author":"Mohammed","year":"2021","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
