Abstract

A resonant converter circuit comprises a multi-level inverter circuit placed before a resonant unit, and the multi-level inverter circuit can reduce a voltage to be input to the resonant unit. The reduced input voltage of the resonant unit results in a drop in an output voltage of the entire resonant converter circuit. In this process, the final output voltage is adjusted by adjusting the input voltage of the resonant unit, with no need to substantially adjust a switching frequency of the resonant converter circuit.
