Adaptive resonant switching power system

摘要

A resonant switching power system operates with two resonant frequencies. A first frequency depends on the secondary leakage inductance of an output transformer and capacitor. The first frequency varies with changes in the load because load changes alter the leakage inductance. A second resonant frequency depends on the gate source capacitance of two MOSFET power devices in the circuit and the leakage inductance of the circuit's driving transformer. Power is thereby supplied that is always in phase with the load so that switching in the power supply occurs when current is near zero. High thermal efficiency is thereby achieved.
