  • Publication number: 20210351708
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a series resonant converter (110), wherein the series resonant converter (110) comprises a primary circuit (112) and a secondary circuit (114), wherein the primary circuit (112) or the secondary circuit (114) comprises a series resonant oscillating circuit (118), wherein the series resonant oscillating circuit (118) comprises at least one capacitance C1 and at least one inductance Li, wherein a link voltage Udc is applied to the primary circuit (112), and wherein the secondary circuit (114) provides an average output current ?out, wherein the control of the series resonant converter (110) is carried out by adjusting an averaged value of the output current ?out using a transfer function, wherein the transfer function is a function of the link voltage Udc, the output voltage UCout, the inductance Li, a switching period tp and a duty cycle D, wherein at least the switching period tp and/or the duty cycle D are adjusted.
