    Abstract: A zero-voltage switching (ZVS) buck-boost converter to reduce or even minimize switching power loss and improve EMI performance is described herein. The buck-boost converter may include an auxiliary path to generate an auxiliary current to charge and discharge respective nodes in the converter during select switching times. The converter may operate in buck-boost mode, buck mode, or boost mode. Moreover, the auxiliary path may include components, such as a pair of power switches and an inductor, arranged in a symmetrical fashion so that the converter may achieve ZVS in bidirectional operation as well.
