A resonant converter includes a transformer, a resonant network, control circuit, primary and secondary circuits. One of the primary switches is turned on from a first switching moment until a second switching moment. The resonant network is coupled between the primary circuit and the primary winding. A current of the resonant network changes a direction at a first moment between the first and second switching moments. The secondary circuit is coupled to the secondary winding. One of the secondary switches is turned on during first and second preset time interval to increase the current in a direction by the secondary winding being clamped by a preset voltage, in which the output current is increased in an opposite direction or equal to zero.

The DC-to-DC converter further includes a second port coupled to the second full bridge; a first inductor coupled between the second full bridge and the second port; and a first freewheeling circuit including a first diode being coupled in series with a switch. The first freewheeling circuit is further coupled in parallel with the first inductor between the second full bridge and the second port. Thereby, the DC-to-DC converter has a wide input and wide output (WIWO) range and a voltage gain that is linear.

An LLC converter circuit is provided. A control circuit provides a first control signal and a second control signal according to a sensing voltage generated by sensing a voltage on a resonant capacitor of a primary side, so as to control a conduction state of a half-bridge switch circuit.

A pre-chargeable DCDC conversion circuit includes a high-voltage side conversion module connected to a primary winding of a main transformer T1, a low-voltage side conversion module connected to a secondary winding of the main transformer, and a controller used for controlling the high-voltage side conversion module and the low-voltage side conversion module. A pre-charging module is connected in series in a direct-current bus of the low-voltage side conversion module, and the pre-charging module is used for pre-charging a capacitor of electric equipment connected to a direct-current bus of the high-voltage side conversion module when the complete machine is powered on. The pre-charging module and a forward DCDC share most of power devices and power loops, and only a small number of devices are added, such that the volume and cost are reduced compared with an independent pre-charging branch, and the control mode is simple.

The invention relates to enhanced adjusting of the control variables for a DC-DC converter comprising multiple DC-DC converter modules (30-1, 30-2). For this purpose, alongside the conventional controlling of the individual DC-DC converter modules, an additional correction variable (K-1, K-2) is determined which can be added to the control variable (R4-1, R4-2). In particular, the correction variable can take into account individual properties of the DC-DC converter modules, such as component tolerances or similar. For this purpose, correction values suitable for the individual DC-DC converter modules can be determined in advance and stored in a non-volatile storage means. Using these previously stored links, the control variables for the individual DC-DC converter modules can be individually adjusted.

A resonant converter includes a transformer, a resonant network, control circuit, primary and secondary circuits. One of the primary switches is turned on from a first switching moment until a second switching moment. The resonant network is coupled between the primary circuit and the primary winding. A current of the resonant network changes a direction at a first moment between the first and second switching moments. The secondary circuit is coupled to the secondary winding. One of the secondary switches is turned on during first and second preset time interval to increase the current in a direction by the secondary winding being clamped by a preset voltage, in which the output current is increased in an opposite direction or equal to zero.

A power converter controller includes a control loop clock generator to generate a switching frequency signal responsive to a burst load threshold, a power signal, and a load signal. A switching frequency of the switching frequency signal is above a resonance range of an energy transfer element. A burst control circuit generates a burst on signal and a burst off signal in response to a feedback signal and a burst enable signal to operate the controller in a plurality of burst modes. A burst frequency of the burst on signal or the burst off signal is less than the resonance range of the energy transfer element. A request transmitter circuit generates a request signal responsive to the switching frequency signal, the burst on signal, and the burst off signal to control switching of a switching circuit.

An isolated switched-mode power converter converts power from an input source into power for an output load. A digital controller senses a secondary-side voltage, such as a rectified voltage, of the power converter. The secondary-side voltage is divided down using a high-impedance voltage divider. The resultant divided-down voltage is provided to a voltage sensor within the digital controller. The voltage sensor level shifts the provided voltage, and buffers the resulting level-shifted voltage. The buffered, level-shifted voltage is provided to a tracking analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for digitization. The buffered signal provided to the tracking ADC has a high current capability, such that the voltage input to the tracking ADC may quickly converge before the tracking ADC outputs a digital value for the sensed secondary-side voltage.
