Abstract

See full text

Techniques for operating a power converter system that includes an LLC resonant converter and a non-inverting buckboost converter that is located in front of the LLC resonant converter are disclosed. In an embodiment, the output voltage of a non-inverting buckboost converter is regulated in response to the input voltage and the output voltage of an LLC resonant converter in order to maintain a desired ratio between the input voltage and the output voltage of the LLC resonant converter. For example, the ratio between the input voltage and the output voltage of the LLC resonant converter is controlled to a desired ratio that matches the turns ratio of the LLC resonant converter's transformer and that may also match (as a second order effect) the ratio of Lr to Lm.
