Abstract
A method of controlling a resonant push-pull converter is disclosed. The resonant push-pull converter includes a transformer, a first switch, a second switch, a resonant tank, and a rectifying circuit. The method includes a step of a fixed on-time control. In the fixed on-time control, a first control signal with a fixed on-time is used to control the first switch, and a second control signal with the fixed on-time is used to control the second switch so that the first switch and the second switch are alternately switched.
Claims8
A method of controlling a resonant push-pull converter, the resonant push-pull converter comprising:
- a transformer, comprising a primary-side winding and a secondary-side winding, wherein the primary-side winding comprises a first center-tapped end, a first end, and a second end, and the first center-tapped end is coupled to a DC input voltage, wherein the secondary-side winding comprises two winding ends and a second center-tapped end;
- a first switch, coupled between the first end and a ground end providing a grounding level of the DC input voltage;
- a second switch, coupled between the second end and the ground end;
- a resonant tank, coupled to the secondary-side winding or the primary-side winding, wherein the resonant tank comprises two series-connected branches, and each series-connected branch comprises a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor connected in series;
- the two series-connected branches are respectively coupled to the two winding ends, and a common contact of the two series-connected output capacitors is coupled to the second center-tapped end;
- a rectifying circuit, coupled to the secondary-side winding, and configured to convert AC power provided by the secondary-side winding into a DC output voltage;
- and
- two output capacitors, connected in series, and the series-connected output capacitors coupled in parallel to an output side of the rectifying circuit to provide the DC output voltage,
- wherein the method comprises a fixed on-time control of:
- controlling the first switch by a first control signal with fixed on-time, and controlling the second switch by a second control signal with fixed on-time so as to alternately switch the first switch and the second switch.
