Anti-parallel diode in resonant power supplies

The anti-parallel diode is now the weakest link in resonant power supplies.

The MOSFET's anti-parallel diodes are not the foremost importance on a device designers mind. Actually, most anti-parallel diodes suck. They can have up to 1.4 V forward drop and be quite snappy. This stress within a resonant supply can be an unforeseen device stress and cause failure.
