Abstract: A resonant converter (100) includes at least two transistor switches (S1-S8), out of which at least two are connected in parallel, and out of which a number of available transistor switches (S1-S8) is available for performing a current switching of the resonant converter (100). A controlling module (101) is configured to determine whether an output power of the resonant converter (100) is below an output power threshold value. A switching module (102) is configured to employ a reduced number of transistor switches out of the number of available transistor switches (S1-S8), if the output power of the resonant converter (100) is below the output power threshold value. The reduced number is at least declined by one compared to the number of available transistor switches (S1-S8). The switching module (102) is configured to permute the employed reduced number of transistor switches over the available transistor switches (S1-S8).
