LLC resonant converters display many advantages over the conventional LC series resonant converter such as narrow frequency variation over wide range of load and input variation and zero voltage switching even under no load conditions. This paper presents analysis and design consideration for the half bridge LLC resonant converter. Using the fundamental approximation, the gain equation is obtained, where the leakage inductance in the transformer secondary side is also considered. Based on the gain equation, the practical design procedure is investigated to optimize the resonant network for a given input/output specifications. The design procedure is verified through an experimental prototype of the 115W half-bridge LLC resonant converter.

In general, the LLC resonant topology consists of three stages as; square wave generator, resonant network, and rectifier network. LLC resonant converter has the time slowly varying parameters. However, the power LEDs as the load of LLC converter can be regarded as fast time varying parameters. In this paper, the mathematical model of half-bridge resonant converter including with the power LEDs is introduced for the current controller design model. Using this controller design model, the parameter adaptive output feedback controller will be designed to control the power LEDs current. In order to show the validities of the proposed model, the parameter adaptive output feedback controller, the experimental investigation will be presented.

The resonant converter cause the high voltage stress according to the input voltage, which increases the conduction loss in converter power switches. The topology of LLC half bridge resonant converter provides ZVS characteristic and also the stress of voltage and current is smaller than that of the general resonant converters. So we can expect the higher efficiency. In this paper, the analysis of the characteristics of the converter efficiency and the best conditions for highest efficiency were investigated. As a result, the efficiency of utilizing up to 93% is achieved.

In this paper, we propose a current-driven synchronous rectifier driver circuit for LLC resonant half-bridge converters. The proposed driver circuit detects a relatively low current in the primary side of the transformer although a large current is flowing in the secondary side. Due to this feature, the driver circuit has a simple circuit structure and stabilizes the switching operation with a logic-level switching voltages for the synchronous rectifier. The operation and performance of the proposed driver circuit are confirmed with a prototype of 1kW class LLC resonant half-bridge converter. The experimental results proved that the proposed synchronous rectifier driver method improves the power conversion efficiency by around 1% and reduces the internal power loss by 17W.

This paper deals with LLC resonant converter of on-board charger for electric vehicle charging. Generally, the on-board charger must have a very widely charging voltage, higher efficiency, higher power factor, lower volume and lower weight.

The topology of LLC half bridge resonant converter provides ZVS characteristic. The voltage stress and current stress are smaller than that of the general resonant converters. So the LLC HB resonant converter can be considered as a optimal circuit for the notebook computer adapter. In the adapter design, we should consider the weight, the size and the overheat of the adapter. Thus the higher efficiency is an essential particular. First of all, the optimal design of transformer is the most important facts. Some parameters should be considered in order to get the highest efficiency. The adapter is designed through the considering of these parameters including the PFC circuit as the pre-regulator. It converts AC line input into about DC 390V link voltage of the LLC HB converter input and the converter has 16V/90W ratings. The efficiency measured is about up to 93%.
