Forum Post: does SM72445 use ZVSCS?

Hello everybody!

I am carrying out a project in which I have to develop a power optimizer for application in photovoltaics. I have purchased some SM72445 MPPT controllers and the evaluation board to test how it works. I tested the evaluation board and another optimizer based on a SM72445 and the efficiency was really high. Could you let me know please if this MPPT controller uses Zero Voltage-Zero Current Switching techniques? This information is necessary in order to document the project.
