PRODUCTION DATA
During start-up and for the first few switching cycles, the MOSFET on the primary side can experience body diode reverse recovery and hard switching. The experience is mainly due to the fact that at start-up the resonant capacitor can have DC bias voltage which is off from the steady state operating voltage of Vin/2. This leads to a asymmetry in the resonant tank current at start-up. In the first few cycles, asymmetry can be high enough that the current at the point of switch turn-off is in the wrong polarity.
For example, refer to Figure 7-13.
