Topologies for three-element resonant converters

Abstract

Many of the limitations of two-element resonant topologies can be overcome by adding a third reactive element. However, using three elements greatly increases the number of possible topologies, making it very difficult to explore this class of circuits on a trial-and-error basis. An orderly search procedure that exposes a large number of new topologies, many of which are resonant and have useful properties, is presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
