Abstract
Operating a resonant Dickson converter. At least some of the example embodiments are methods including: driving a voltage output of the Dickson converter by a resonant current through a first branch for a first on time, the resonant current has a resonant half-period; driving the voltage output by a resonant current through a third branch for a second on time, the resonant current through the third branch has a resonant half-period; and then electrically isolating the first branch and the third branch; detecting, during a first dead time, that the first on time was different than the resonant half-period of the first branch; and adjusting the first on time used in a subsequent cycle of driving the resonant currents, the adjusting makes the first on time more closely match the resonant half-period of the first branch.
