Abstract
A resonant DC-DC converter may include an input for inputting a DC supply voltage, an output for providing a DC voltage to a load, an output rectifier to convert the converter voltage into a DC voltage, a resonant half-bridge inverter comprising two switches in series with a first serial resonant circuit to adjust the output current of the converter, and a second serial resonant circuit to block DC current in the converter and provide current continuity within the converter. The resonance of the first serial resonant circuit is measured after every start of the converter and each measurement defines the switching frequency of the half-bridge inverter. The switches of the half-bridge inverter wherein the driving of the half-bridge inverter includes a key gap during operation thereof. The resonance frequency of the second serial resonant circuit is at least slightly above the switching frequency of the half-bridge inverter.
