  • Patent number: 11658579
    Abstract: A resonant control device and a resonant control method thereof is provided. The resonant control device includes a feedback controller and a processor. The feedback controller receives a reference voltage and an output voltage and use the reference voltage to perform voltage compensation on the output voltage to generate a control parameter. The processor generates pulse modulation signals according to the control parameter and a switching parameter and uses the pulse modulation signals to drive the resonant converter to regulate the output voltage. The pulse modulation signal has the maximum frequency and the minimum frequency. The pulse modulation signals control the frequency according to the control parameter and the switching parameter when the control parameter is larger than or equal to the switching parameter. Otherwise, the pulse modulation signals control the resonant converter to operate for a fixed period within each cycle of the pulse modulation signal.

  • Patent number: 9960689
    Abstract: A resonant control device and a resonant control method thereof controls a resonant converter connected with a load. An output voltage is applied across the load. Firstly, a setting voltage is used to perform voltage compensation on the output voltage to generate a control value. Then, pulse modulation signals are generated according to the control value and a switch value, so as to drive the resonant converter to regulate the output voltage. Each pulse modulation signal has the maximum frequency and the minimum frequency. The switch value is equal to the minimum frequency divided by the maximum frequency and less than 0.5. Finally, the process determines whether the control value is less than the switch value. If the answer is yes, PWM signals as the pulse modulation signals are generated, and their frequency is less than the maximum frequency to increase a lower-limit range of the output voltage.
