Abstract

A resonant type constant voltage supply apparatus has a LC series resonance circuit. Energy stored in both a resonance capacitor and a resonance inductor is directly transferred to the output or input terminal of the apparatus. A control transformer is provided in parallel with the resonance capacitor for deriving the energy stored in the resonance capacitor. The amount of the energy stored in the resonance capacitor can be controlled by changing the switching frequency of the apparatus or the inductance of the control transformer, so as to thereby control the amount of energy transferred to the output or input terminal of the apparatus and thereby stabilize the output voltage of the apparatus.
