Turnoff switching loss

During the turnoff process, current in the converter becomes zero when all of the switches are off. The voltage across the switches remains zero, as no current can charge the junction capacitance. The switches realize zero-voltage turnoff and eliminate the IV overlap loss. Dead-time and reverse-recovery loss are eliminated as well because there is no current flow during dead time.
