  • Publication number: 20110310640
    Abstract: This invention relates to a kind of LLC resonant converter for full input voltage range and its control method, and belongs to LLC resonant power conversion field. The technical solution: the current type main tank current sampler test the main tank current signal of the LLC resonant conversion circuit, and its output signal passes a rectifier then to be sent into the main tank energy quantifier connected to it. In the bus voltage range from 5% Vmax to Vmax, the main tank energy quantifier can count the remained LLC resonant main tank energy corresponding to measuring the bus transient voltage, and output a stable energy wave Vo, and if the remained LLC resonant energy falls down to a given energy value, the energy comparator output control signal and the controller controls the electronic switch device turning off, and the corresponding electronic switch gains a ZVS in the next half working period of LLC resonant converter.
