An Accurate Design Algorithm for LLC Resonant Converters—Part II

This paper proposes a new approach to optimally design LLC converters. The core of the proposed approach is an accurate algorithm that can find all the possible designs satisfying the peak-gain requirement. Designers can conveniently evaluate several design results and find the optimal one for their respective applications. Part II of this paper discusses design considerations and procedure using the proposed algorithm. Case studies reveal different design tradeoffs in different application scenarios. A 384-V nominal 300-V minimum input voltage range 12-V/50-A output LLC converter prototype with 97.3% peak efficiency is built to verify the proposed design algorithm.
