Resonant Converters for High-Frequency Power Electronics

Abstract

Resonant converters have gained significant attention in the field of high frequency power electronics due to their efficiency, reduced electromagnetic interference, and compact size. The various types of resonant converters, including series resonant converters (SRCs), parallel resonant converters (PRCs), and LLC resonant converters, highlighting their unique characteristics and operational modes. Furthermore, we explore the key design considerations and challenges associated with resonant converters in high-frequency applications. In addition, this paper presents experimental results and comparisons with conventional power converters to demonstrate the advantages of resonant converters.

Keywords: Resonant Converters, High-Frequency Power Electronics, Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS), Zero Current Switching (ZCS), LLC Resonant Converter, Efficiency, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Control Circuitry
