Control methods of half-bridge capacitor voltage clamped series resonant converter

This paper proposes a half-bridge capacitor voltage clamped series resonant converter. The principle of operation, theoretical analysis and the main properties of the converter are demonstrated for four different methods of control. The results of the experimental research and the characteristics of production devices are shown. The four control methods are: method of control with constant pause duration, method of control with constant pulse duration, method of control which enables the equivalence control pulse duration and current pulse duration, and method of control with constant switching frequency
