PRODUCTION DATA
During startup, for the first few switching cycles the MOSFET's on the primary side can experience body diode reverse recovery and hard switching. This is mainly due to the fact that at startup the resonant capacitor can have DC bias voltage which is off from the steady state operating voltage of Vin/2. This leads to a asymmetry in the resonant tank current at startup. In the first few cycles, this asymmetry can be high enough that the current at the point of switch turn-off is in the wrong polarity.
For example, please refer to the figure below.
