This paper aims to develop a novel adaptive gate switching controller (AGSC) for discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) dc-dc converters, in an attempt to reduce the power losses caused by nonideal gate switching operations. The proposed AGSC employs a dead-time controller (DTC) and a zero-current dete...
