Abstract
A resonant switching power converter circuit including: a switching converter, a control circuit and a pre-charging circuit; wherein the control circuit controls a first switch of the switching converter in a pre-charging mode, so as to control electrical connections between a first power and at least one of plural capacitors of the switching converter, and to control other switches of the switching converter, so as to control the pre-charging circuit to charge at least one capacitor to a predetermined voltage; wherein in a start-up mode, the plural switches control electrical connections of the capacitors according to first and second operation signals, such that after the pre-charging mode ends, the switching converter subsequently operates in the start-up mode; wherein in the start-up mode, the first and second operation signals have respective ON periods, and the time lengths of the ON periods increase gradually.
