发明名称 Resonant converter with wide load range
摘要 Low-power auxiliary circuitry is added to a resonant converter for providing high efficiency operation, low EMI, and tight output voltage control over a wide load range. There is an auxiliary circuit corresponding to each half-bridge connection of main switching devices, each auxiliary circuit including a half-bridge connection of auxiliary switching devices with the junction therebetween coupled to the junction between the main switching devices of the corresponding half-bridge. Under heavy load conditions, sufficient energy is stored in the main resonant inductor to commutate the junctions joining the main switching devices in the resonant converter, resulting in zero-voltage switching for the main switching devices. Under light load conditions, a phase shift is introduced between the corresponding main and auxiliary switching devices, and the auxiliary resonant inductor currents are increased to a level sufficient for the sum of the main resonant inductor current and the corresponding auxiliary resonant inductor current to provide zero-voltage switching for all the bridge switching devices.
