  • Patent number: 10374519
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an LLC resonant converter and a method for suppressing ripples in output voltage of the LLC resonant converter. The LLC resonant converter comprises: a half-bridge or full-bridge chopper having a driving circuit, an inductance-capacitance series resonant network coupled to the chopper, an isolation transformer coupled to the resonant network, and a rectification and filtering circuit coupled to the isolation transformer; a feedforward controller coupled to generate a feedforward signal based on an input voltage; and a controlled oscillator coupled to receive the feedforward signal from the feedforward controller and to control an operating frequency of the chopper via the driving circuit based on the feedforward signal. Thus, a feedforward correction is provided for the LLC resonant converter, so that ripples in a DC output voltage of the LLC resonant converter are reduced.
