Patent attributes
A converter includes a switching stage including first and second primary transistors, a resonant stage connected to the switching stage, a transformer including a primary winding connected to the resonant stage, a rectifying stage connected to a secondary winding of the transformer and including first and second synchronous rectifiers, and a controller. The controller is configured and/or programmed to operate in a steady-state mode in which an output voltage of the converter is regulated by varying a switching frequency of the first and second primary transistors and of the first and second synchronous rectifiers and a synchronous-rectification control mode in which the output voltage is regulated when an output-voltage overshoot is detected by switching the first and second primary transistors and the first and second synchronous rectifiers at a fixed switching frequency and by varying a duty cycle of the first and second synchronous rectifiers.
