Multi-resonant LLC tank circuit
Variable frequency control
Fixed 50% duty cycle for Q1 & Q2
Dead-time between LG and HG to
allow MOSFET’s ZVS @ turn-on

≈
fr, sinusoidal waveforms: low
turn-off losses, low EMI
Equal voltage & current stress for
secondary rectifiers; ZCS, then no
recovery losses
No output choke; cost saving
Integrated magnetics: both L’s can
be realized with the transformer.
High efficiency: >96% achievable
