Analysis and Control of Dual-Output LCLC Resonant Converters, and the Impact of Leakage Inductance

The analysis, design and control of 4
^th
-order LCLC voltage-output series-parallel resonant converters (SPRCs) for the provision of multiple regulated outputs, is described. Specifically, state-variable concepts are developed to establish operating mode boundaries with which to describe the internal behaviour of dual-output resonant converters, and the impact of output leakage inductance. The resulting models are compared with those obtained from SPICE simulations and measurements from a prototype power supply under closed loop control to verify the analysis, modeling and control predictions.
