Abstract

See full text

A high-frequency resonant power converter transforms a relatively low D.C. input voltage to a relatively high A.C. link voltage to drive a resonant circuit. The high A.C. voltage appearing across a resonance circuit high-voltage capacitor is then transformed down to a relatively low value and rectified to obtain a desired relatively low D.C. output voltage. Use of a high A.C. link voltage eliminates low voltage operation of the resonance circuit, which would require very large resonant capacitors having high current ratings. Composite magnetic structures which combine a resonant inductor and a transformer are also disclosed.
