The resonant converters 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 LLC resonant converter is designed for slim adapter. In the adapter design, we should consider the weight, the size and overheat of the adapter. Thus the optimal design of transformer is the most important facts. Some parameters should be considered in order to get the highest efficiency. The LLC resonant converter input is 390VDC Link voltage of PFC and the output has 16VDC/90W ratings. The efficiency measured is about up to 93%.

In this paper, a new planar transformer with a novel core configuration that can regulate the leakage inductance is proposed and described in detail. In order to design the slim size power system for flat panel TV, Two planar transformers applied to LLC resonant converter are connected in series at primary and in parallel by the center-tap winding at secondary. In this paper, a 300W low profile LLC resonant converter was built and tested to verify the proposed planar transformer.

This paper presents an interleaved resonant converter to reduce the voltage stress of power MOSFETs and achieve high circuit efficiency. Two half-bridge converters are connected in series at high voltage side to limit MOSFETs at $V_{in}/2$ voltage stress. Flying capacitor is used between two series half-bridge converters to balance two input capacitor voltages in each switching cycle. Variable switching frequency scheme is used to control the output voltage. The resonant circuit is operated at the inductive load. Thus, the input current of the resonant circuit is lagging to the fundamental input voltage. Power MOSFETs can be turn on under zero voltage switching. Two resonant circuits are connected in parallel to reduce the current stress of transformer windings and rectifier diodes at low voltage side. Interleaved pulse-width modulation is adopted to decrease the output ripple current. Finally, experiments are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

In this paper, a resonant pulse power converter (RPPC) is proposed. The proposed RPPC transfers the pulse-shape power from a DC source to a load periodically. The RPPC consists of a resonant circuit and a resonant pulse converter driven by a self-switching circuit. Depending on the magnitude difference between the input and output voltages, the operations of the RPPC are divided into 4 modes; boost mode, hybrid mode, direct mode and cut-off mode, respectively. The main switch of the RPPC turns on in the ZCS condition and off in the ZVS condition spontaneously. The operational principles of a RPPC using the self-switching technique are analyzed and verified in experiments. An example of a RPPC application is demonstrated in the area of thermoelectric energy harvesting.

An analysis of the junction capacitance in resonant rectifiers which has a significant impact on the operating point of resonance circuits is studied in this paper, where the junction capacitance of the rectifier diode is to decrease the resonant current and output voltage in the circuit when compared with that in an ideal rectifier diode. This can be represented by a simplified series resonant equivalent circuit and a voltage transfer function versus the normalized operating frequency at varied values of the resonant capacitor. A low voltage to high voltage push-pull DC/DC resonant converter was used as a design example. The design procedure is based on the principle of the half bridge class-DE resonant rectifier, which ensures more accurate results. The proposed scheme provides a more systematic and feasible solution than the conventional resonant push-pull DC/DC converter analysis methodology. To increase circuit efficiency, the main switches and the rectifier diodes can be operated under the zero-voltage and zero-current switching conditions, respectively. In order to achieve this objective, the parameters of the DC/DC converter need to be designed properly. The details of the analysis and design of this DC/DC converter's components are described. A prototype was constructed with a 62-88 kHz variable switching frequency, a 12 $V_{DC}$ input voltage, a 380 $V_{DC}$ output voltage, and a rated output power of 150 W. The validity of this approach was confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

The flyback converter has been applied widely in isolated DC/DC power converters because this converters employ a single MOSFET switch. The leakage inductance should be minimized for high efficiency of flyback converter. but in reality, it is very difficult. Namely, The Snubber circuit is essential to recover the leakage inductance stored energy when the switch is turn off. Flyback Converter typically operates in DCM mode and when switch is turn off in hard switching, this hard switching action results in a high power losses and switching stresses. In order to overcome these problems, a novel soft switching flyback converter using resonant snubber circuit is proposed in this paper. The resonant snubber circuit is composed of the transformer leakage inductance and a capacitor. To verify and confirm the proposed resonant snubber circuit, PSIM simulation and hardware prototype are implemented. Simulation and Experimental results indicate that the proposed resonant snubber circuit is effective.
