Patent attributes
The present disclosure provides a series resonant converter and its corresponding control method. In one aspect, the series resonant converter includes m (m=1, 2, 3, . . . ) sets of primary side stages in parallel, wherein each primary side stage is identical and includes n (n=2, 3, . . . ) stacked element circuits, where the primary side stages receive an input voltage; n×m resonant networks coupled to the primary side stages; n×m transformers having n×m primary side windings and n×m secondary side windings, where the primary side windings are coupled to the n×m resonant networks; p (p=1, 2, 3, . . . ) sets of secondary side stages in parallel, wherein each secondary side stage is identical and includes q (q=n×m/p) stacked element circuits, where the secondary side stages are coupled to n×m secondary side windings; and a control block controlling the primary side switches according to the output voltage, input voltage and input capacitor voltages.
