Summary: 
A class E low dv/dt PWM synchronous rectifier regulating the output voltage at a fixed frequency is presented, analyzed and verified experimentally. This rectifier is derived from the class E low dv/dt rectifier by replacing the controlled switch (MOSFET with its anti-parallel diode) with the rectifier diode in class E low dv/dt rectifier, and by using the synchronized PWM signal to control the output voltage at desired value. The ZVS condition of the controlled switch can be maintained from full-loaded to open-loaded. The experimental results measured at switching frequency 1 MHz are in good agreement with the theoretical prediction.
