Abstract
An output voltage of an LLC resonant converter circuit is received. The received output voltage is analyzed to determine whether the received output voltage is within an acceptable operational range. When the output voltage is not within the acceptable operational range and the operational frequency is below a maximum predetermined frequency, the operational frequency of the LLC resonant converter circuit is adjusted. The adjustment of the operational frequency is effective to change the output voltage to a value that is within the acceptable operational range. When the output voltage is not within the acceptable operational range and the operational frequency is above the maximum predetermined frequency, a phase shift in the LLC resonant converter circuit is adjusted. This adjustment is effective to change the output voltage to a value that is within the acceptable operational range.
