Abstract

LLC series resonant converter has many unique characteristics and improvement over PWM topologies. However, many output capacitors should be needed in parallel to satisfy an output voltage ripple and a rated ripple current of the capacitors. This paper is deal with a novel two phase interleaved LLC resonant converter using a phase of the resonant capacitor. The proposed converter can satisfy output voltage ripple and a rated ripple current of capacitors with few output capacitors, relatively. The operation and features is considered in detail and a prototype with a 12V-100A output is investigated.
