Abstract

A resonant converter includes a transformer, a resonant network, control circuit, primary and secondary circuits. One of the primary switches is turned on from a first switching moment until a second switching moment. The resonant network is coupled between the primary circuit and the primary winding. A current of the resonant network changes a direction at a first moment between the first and second switching moments. The secondary circuit is coupled to the secondary winding. One of the secondary switches is turned on during first and second preset time interval to increase the current in a direction by the secondary winding being clamped by a preset voltage, in which the output current is increased in an opposite direction or equal to zero.
