[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the resonant circuit includes the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the first switching transistor S1, the second switching transistor S2, the third switching transistor S3, the resonant capacitor Cr, the resonant inductor Lr, the first diode D1, the second diode D2, a transformer and a rectification circuit.

[0047] In one aspect of this embodiment, the first driving mode is that the first switching transistor S1 and the third switching transistor S3 are conducted alternately within the non-conduction time of the second switching transistor S2, and the second driving mode is that the first switching transistor S1 and the third switching transistor S3 are conducted simultaneously, and conducted complementarily to the second switching transistor S2.

[0048] In one aspect of this embodiment, the number of the operating periods in the first driving mode and the number of the operating periods in the second driving mode are both set according to the set relationship between the output voltage Vo and the K value.

[0049] In one aspect of this embodiment, the first control periods T1 include multiple operating periods T2 of the second switching transistor S2. In this embodiment, N operating periods T2 are set, wherein K1+K2=N.

[0050] In one aspect of this embodiment, the first switching transistor S1, the second switching transistor S2 and the third switching transistor S3 have the same operating periods in the second driving mode.

[0051] In one aspect of this embodiment, the operating periods of the second switching transistor S2 in the first driving mode are the same as those of each switching transistor in the second driving mode, and the operating periods of the first switching transistor S1 and the third switching transistor S3 in the second driving mode are twice those of the second switching transistor S2 in the first driving mode.

[0052] In one aspect of this embodiment, in the step S05, the output voltage Vo of the resonant circuit is detected, and the difference between the detection signal and the reference signal is amplified to generate a feedback signal. In this embodiment, an implementation of this step is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, a feedback circuit is included, an integrated operational amplifier U1 of the feedback circuit detects a signal of the output voltage Vo at an inverting input terminal thereof and is connected to the reference signal Vref at a non-inverting input terminal thereof, the difference is amplified through the integrated operational amplifier U1 as well as R1 and C4, and the signal at an output terminal of the integrated operational amplifier U1 is a feedback signal. Since the resonant circuit is an isolation circuit, an optocoupler is required for isolation in a control circuit. A resonant control circuit sets the first control periods T1 of the switching transistor group as well as values of K1 and K2, the operating frequency of a switching transistor is adjusted according to a feedback signal received at an input terminal, and the corresponding first driving signal V1, second driving signal V2 and third driving signal V3 are outputted according to the above values, thereby driving the first switching transistor S1, the second switching transistor S2 and the third switching transistor S3 respectively.

[0053] For example, the first control periods T1 of the switching transistor group is set, as shown in FIG. 2, the first control periods T1 include 8 operating periods T2 of the second switching transistor S2; and the number of the operating periods in the first driving mode and the number of the operating periods in the second driving mode in the first control periods T1 are set as K1=5 and K2=3 respectively, i.e. in the control periods T1, based on the switching periods T2 of the second switching transistor S2, T1 has 8 switching periods T2 in total, thereby setting that the switching transistor operates in 5 operating periods of the second switching transistor S2 in the first driving mode and 3 operating periods of the second switching transistor S2 in the second driving mode. Moreover, the resonant circuit is cyclically controlled with the periods T1, so that the resonant circuit operates in the two driving modes within each control period.

[0054] In this embodiment, a particular embodiment of a resonant control circuit is provided. As shown in FIG. 3, the resonant control circuit includes a drive control circuit, a voltage-controlled oscillator and a switch setting circuit; wherein the switch setting circuit sets control periods T1, and values of K1 and K2 in different driving modes within the same control period, determines the above three parameters, and outputs the parameters to the drive control circuit. The voltage-controlled oscillator receives a feedback signal, and determines the length of the operating periods T2 of the switching transistor S2 according to the feedback signal. In this way, the operating periods of the switching transistors S1 and S3 are also indirectly determined. The operating periods and the operating frequency are reciprocal to each other. Different operating periods correspond to different output voltages Vo of the resonant circuit, and the output voltage Vo of the resonant circuit can be adjusted to be equal to a desired value through closed-loop adjustment.

[0055] In this embodiment, there is also provided a control device of a resonant circuit, wherein the control device is loaded with the method according to any of the above aspects, and the control device further includes:
