Understanding Royer oscillator (for wireless power transfer), (specially mosfet gate driver circuit)



I need to understand how exactly this circuit works, there is not much references and books on those circuits, they're used as "power" oscillator for DC AC conversion for wireless. i finally found their name after being so downvoted here when i asked if oscillators can be used to generate power.


 circuit


here is something i found on how it works (i'm not sure you need that to answer my question)


i also know that the mos control voltage is arranged in such a way to perform switching at ZERO BIAS VOLTAGE. what i really need to understand first is what are the capacitors C4 and C5 on the gate drive and how are they calculated, also what are the zener diodes for exactly? and i think the shottky is for have a fast turn off right?


here are different other circuits of the royer i found, if this may help, it seems like there are two types,


type2


type1


thank you very much.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
