LLC Converter (Full Bridge, Diode Rectification)

Description

This topology can achieve ZVS operation (primary side switch) and ZCS operation (secondary side switch) simultaneously. It realizes low noise and high efficiency by generating a sinusoidal current waveform with the switch network and resonant circuit.
This circuit consists of a full bridge switch circuit on the primary side and a center-tap transformer on the secondary side, commonly used for relatively high power (500W to several kW) and low output voltage.

Overview

- Series resonance between Cr and Lr
- Lr is sometimes implemented as the leakage inductance of the transformer
- Voltage control is done through frequency high complexity design
- Soft switching is defined by magnetizing inductance Lm, not function of the load.
- Efficiency around 98% suits Titanium!
- Frequency 100..200 kHz
