Abstract:
A resonant converter includes a primary stage having first and second switches coupled in series, a controller coupled to the first switch and the second switch to control operation thereof, a first transformer comprising a primary coil coupled to a node between the first and second switches, and a resonant inductor coupled to the primary coil of the first transformer. The resonant converter also includes a secondary stage having a second transformer formed of a primary coil coupled to the resonant inductor and a secondary coil comprising first and second coil sections, a third switch coupled to the first coil section of the secondary coil, and a fourth switch coupled to the second coil section of the secondary coil. A switch drive circuit is provided to drive the third and fourth switches for synchronous rectification, with the switch drive circuit comprising a secondary coil of the first transformer.
