Tried ZVS soft-switching and it should work although not enough time to run on 
real hardware. Then properly configured there should only be need to change 
dead times and peak current value for current mode or phase shift for voltage 
mode. They have special purpose timers with a resolution equal to a frequency 
of a few gigahertz for outputs but not timing of inputs.

These micro controllers are rather new, maybe you have to look once more. I 
however only think they are marginally cheaper than $5 FPGA at best.
