The study is to confront the results of experimental tests performed on a classical DC/DC power converter (Forward type) to results obtained with a DC/DC series resonance converter at high frequencies. This comparative study concerns mainly the dynamic behavior, the static behavior, the energy efficiency, the echauffement of components and the quality of output voltages. This comparison allowed to highlight the deficiencies that remain to be filled by the classical power converters (hard-switching) to compete the resonant converters (soft-switching) at very high frequencies.
