Abstract: A variable frequency resonant converter includes an inverter stage, a resonant circuit, a transformer, a rectifier stage, and a controller. The inverter and rectifier stages include first and second FET devices. The inverter converts a DC input signal to a first AC signal. The resonant circuit is coupled to the inverter stage and filters the first AC signal. The transformer is coupled to the resonant circuit and converts the first AC signal to a second AC signal. The rectifier stage is coupled to the transformer and converts the second AC signal to a DC output signal. The controller is configured to operate both of the first and second FET devices substantially at a resonant frequency at least partially defined by the resonant circuit to generate the DC output signal according to a voltage setpoint.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a controller configured to regulate one or more voltages or currents of a power converter. The controller is configured to receive an input voltage of the power converter, determine whether the power converter is operating in a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation based at least in part on the input voltage, generate a multiplier reference signal for the power converter based on whether the power converter is operating in the first mode of operation or the second mode of operation, and adjust an input current of the power converter based at least in part on the multiplier reference signal. Adjusting the input current includes correcting the input current to be substantially identical in form to the input voltage.
