Frequency-domain analysis of series resonant converter for continuous conduction mode

Most previous analyses of a series resonant DC-DC power converter (SRC) have been performed in the time domain. A comprehensive frequency-domain analysis of the SRC for steady-state operation, along with experimental results is presented. Simple analytical design equations are derived for the basic performance parameters of the converter operating in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) using Fourier series techniques and a high-Q_L assumption. Three types of class-D current-driven rectifiers are considered. The diode threshold voltage and forward resistance as well as the ESR of the output filter capacitor are taken into account. Experimental results were in good agreement with theoretical predictions
