  • Publication number: 20130201725
    Abstract: The present disclsure relates to a resonant circuit (20). The resonant circuit is comprises three resonant circuit input nodes (11, 12, 13) and three resonant circuit output nodes (21, 22, 23), a transformer device and resonant tank devices. The transformer device (TR) comprises three primary windings (LP1, LP2, LP3) and three secondary windings (LS1, LS2, LS3) magnetically connected to each other, where the three secondary windings (LS1, LS2, LS3) are connected to the three resonant circuit output nodes (21, 22, 23). The first, second and third resonant tank devices (RT1, RT2, RT3) are each connected between the respective three resonant circuit input nodes (11, 12, 13) and the respective primary windings (LP1, LP2, LP3). The disclosure also relates to a resonant DC-DC converter comprising such a resonant circuit (20).

  • Patent number: 6970366
    Abstract: A power converter comprises a pair of resonant converter circuits coupled together in parallel and operated at respective switching frequencies that are out of phase. The power converter includes a first resonant converter circuit and a second resonant converter circuit operatively coupled together. The first resonant converter circuit includes at least one power switch adapted to convey power to a first resonant circuit and a first rectification stage adapted to rectify the conveyed power from the first resonant circuit. The second resonant converter circuit includes at least one power switch adapted to convey power to a second resonant circuit and a second rectification stage adapted to rectify the conveyed power from the second resonant circuit. A filter capacitor is coupled to the first and second rectification stages to provide DC output power therefrom.
