Driver circuit for a resonant converter, related integrated circuit, electronic converter and method
Abstract:
A driver circuit for a resonant converter includes a comparator that generates a first control signal indicating when a resonant current changes sign. A first ramp generator circuit outputs a first ramp signal, and a comparison circuit determines whether the first ramp signal reaches a reference threshold. The driver circuit drives a half-bridge via drive signals during consecutive first second switching semi-periods, each of which ends when the comparison circuit indicates the first ramp signal has reached a reference threshold. A control circuit generates in each of the first and the second switching semi-periods control signals indicating a first interval and a second interval. A correction circuit modifies the first ramp signal to have a first gradient value during the first interval and a second gradient value during the second interval. Alternatively, the correction circuit modifies a reference threshold by adding a second ramp signal to an initial threshold value.
