CONTROLLER FOR A RESONANT CONVERTER

Abstract: a controller for a resonant converter. the resonant converter comprising: a first switch and a second switch connected in series with each other between the supply source and a reference terminal; and a resonant tank that is electrically connected to the first and second switches, wherein the resonant tank comprises a resonant capacitor. the controller is configured to: receive a measured voltage signal that represents the voltage at a predetermined point in the resonant tank; determine voltage-correction-signalling based on a measured current signal, which represents the current flowing in the resonant tank; and in response to the measured voltage signal crossing a voltage threshold value, after the application of the voltage-correction-signalling to either the measured voltage signal or the voltage threshold value as an offset, change the state of the first switch and the second switch.
