PRODUCTION DATA
During start-up, the first few switching cycles on the MOSFET on the primary side undergo body diode reverse recovery and hard switching. This is mainly due to the fact that at start up, the resonant capacitor can have a 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 the figure below.
