This document provides design guidelines for LLC resonant half-bridge converters, including their high efficiency, low EMI emissions, and high power density.
This document serves as a design guideline for LLC resonant half-bridge converters, addressing the lack of information regarding their operation and design optimization. It utilizes the first harmonic approximation (FHA) technique to provide a quantitative analysis of steady-state operation, enabling engineers to derive a practical design procedure.
The document provides a detailed quantitative analysis of the steady-state operation of the LLC resonant half-bridge converter to help designers optimize its features.
The application uses the first harmonic approximation (FHA) technique, which analyzes resonant converters using classical complex ac-circuit analysis.
The design allows the converter to regulate the output voltage down to zero load, which is a main benefit compared to traditional series resonant converters.
