MUMBAI, India, June 20 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202414089724 A) filed by Power Integrations, Inc., San Jose, U.S.A., on Nov. 19, 2024, for 'controlling a secondary switch to achieve zero voltage switching.'

Inventor(s) include Karl Moore.

The application for the patent was published on June 20, under issue no. 25/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Zero voltage switching with a secondary switch (e.g., a synchronous rectifier) is described herein. The method allows a secondary side controller to dynamically calculate during a switching period a required secondary switch hold time to effectuate ZVS of a primary switch. By measuring a charge time and a discharge time during a switching period, the required secondary switch hold time may be determined without the need for primary to secondary communication."
