Abstract(in English) This paper presents a design challenge of a SiC MOSFET class-E inverter with a class-$Phi $ high-speed driver. The driver is based on a class-$Phi $ inverter which is a novel class-E inverter with a harmonic resonant filter, enabling the driver to achieve not only the class-E ZVS/ZDS conditions but also a low switch-voltage stress. In this paper, the class-E inverter and its driver are regarded as a whole system to be designed. Additionally, the whole system is designed by using the numerical design procedure. A design example is also given along with its laboratory experiment under 102 W output power and 13.56 MHz operating frequency. All the switch-voltage waveforms obtained from laboratory experiment satisfy the class-E ZVS/ZDS conditions. It is also seen from the experimental results that the numerical calculations agreed with the experimental ones quantitatively, which shows the validity of the design procedure presented in this paper.
