<p>The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for a converter (1) with switches (S1, S2) for chopping a DC voltage U1 into a chopped DC voltage U3, comprising control means for controlling the switch-on times of the switches (S1, S2), in which switch-on times of the switches (S1, S2) alternate with each other and are separated from each other by dead-time phases Ttot, and circuit elements comprising a resonant circuit having at least one capacitor (Cr) and at least one coil (Lr) for converting the chopped DC voltage U3 into an output voltage U2. To ensure a reliable and interference-free ZVS operation of such a circuit, a circuit arrangement and a method of operating such a circuit arrangement are proposed in which a value for the energy/charge remaining in the resonant circuit for switching the switch in the inductive mode of operation is determined and compared with a threshold value by means of a comparator (24), and in which the switches (S1, S2) are controlled in dependence upon the comparison result.</p> |
