Abstract
Method to control a quasi-resonant inverter () in an induction cooking appliance () provided with an induction heating coil (). A switching device () is electrically connected to the induction heating coil () by a node () having a first voltage (VC(t)) which is indicative of the voltage across the power switching device (). The method includes: providing to the switching device () an enabling signal (K) comprising a plurality of pulses, in order to switch-on and switch-off the switching device () for a switch-on period (tON) and a switch-off period (tOFF), determining a second voltage (VCmin) indicative of the minimum value of the first voltage (VC(t)) during the switch-off period (tOFF), regulating the switch-off period (tOFF) based on the second voltage (VCmin), and regulating the enabling signal (K) based on the regulated switch-off period (tOFF).
