Abstract

According to an implementation, a resonant converter for burst mode control includes an oscillator configured to control switching operations of at least one power switch, and a burst mode controller configured to control a burst mode by determining a start of a burst pulse of the burst mode using a first internal signal and determining an end of the burst pulse of the burst mode using a second internal signal. The burst mode controller is configured to stop the switching operations during the burst pulse.
