Abstract
An apparatus includes: a first inductor coupled to a first node and a second node; a second inductor coupled to a third node and a fourth node; a third inductor coupled to the fourth node and a fifth node, wherein the first inductor, the second inductor, and the third inductor form a transformer; and a compensation capacitor coupled to the fourth node and one of the first node and the second node and including, a compensation capacitance. A method of manufacturing a resonant converter, the method includes: obtaining the resonant converter, wherein the resonant converter includes a transformer; determining a parasitic capacitance of the transformer; calculating a compensation capacitance based on the parasitic capacitance; and adding a compensation capacitor across the transformer, wherein the compensation capacitor includes the compensation capacitance.
