Approximate small-signal analysis of the series and the parallel resonant converters

Abstract

Approximate transfer functions of series and parallel resonant converters are given which are in good agreement with the results of exact analysis as well as the results of experiments. It is shown that the dominant behavior of these transfer functions is determined by the output low-pass filter modified by the internal impedance of the converter. The high-frequency behavior, on the other hand, is given by a second-order response whose frequency is at the difference between the resonant and the switching frequencies and whose Q is the original resonant Q modified by the internal impedance of the converter.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
