Small-signal modeling of series and parallel resonant converters

Abstract

A small-signal modeling technique based on the extended describing function concept is applied to series-resonant converters (SRCs) and parallel-resonant converters (PRCs). The models developed include both frequency control and phase-shift control. The small-signal equivalent circuit models are also derived and implemented in PSPICE. The models are in good agreement with measurement data. The high-frequency dynamics of resonant converters around the beat frequency can be accurately modeled. These simple analytical models can be employed in the control loop design of resonant converters.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
