Abstract
An LLC resonant converter is provided, which includes an input power source, a full-bridge switch circuit, a resonant circuit, a transformer, a rectifier circuit, a load, and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a load detection circuit and a valley switching circuit. The load detection circuit detects a load state of the load. The valley switching circuit is configured to, in response to the load state being a light load state: correspondingly generate a first difference voltage; calculate a first switch on-time for a first switch and a fourth switch; generate switching signals that control the first switch and the fourth switch to be turned off, and detect voltage valleys of a second switch and a third switch; and generate the switching signals to control the second switch and the third switch to be turned on according to the calculated first switch on-time.
