1.4.2 Phase-Shift ZVT Converter
As indicated in the block diagram in Figure 1-19, three input signals are required to 
implement the control algorithm. The only outputs from the dsPIC DSC device are firing 
pulses to the Full-Bridge Phase-Shift ZVT and synchronous MOSFETs to control the 
nominal voltage on V
OUT.
