Abstract
A resonant converter arrangement comprises two resonant converters, each having a resonant circuit through which current is switched alternately in opposite directs by respective switch elements. The outputs of the two resonant converters are combined to provide an output of the arrangement which has an amplitude that is dependent upon the relative phase of the outputs of the two resonant converter. For the later purpose, switch controller controls the switch element for one of the two resonant converters, in accordance with such relative phase of the two resonant converters.
