  • Patent number: 7796408
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a half-bridge LLC resonant converter with self-driven synchronous rectifiers, which utilizes a primary IC controller and a gate driver to drive the secondary synchronous rectifiers. In correspondence with the gate drive output voltages of the primary IC controller to the primary switch transistors, the gate driver for the secondary synchronous rectifiers comprises a differential transformer if the primary IC controller outputs two ground-referenced gate drive voltages, which cannot directly drive the primary switch transistors but can be imposed on the differential transformer; or comprises a DC shifter, a DC restorer and a differential transformer if the primary IC controller outputs two gate-source voltages, which can directly drive the primary switch transistors but cannot be imposed on the differential transformer. The drive voltages of the primary switch transistors are unipolar; however the drive voltage of the secondary synchronous rectifiers can be bipolar or unipolar.
