Abstract
A power converter includes an input stage connected to receive an input signal and to provide an intermediate DC voltage, and an output stage having an LLC converter connected to receive the intermediate DC voltage and to provide a DC output voltage. Additionally, the power converter includes a control unit connected to the input and output stages to regulate the DC output voltage and set a target operating parameter of the LLC converter based on controlling the intermediate DC voltage. A method of operating a power converter is also provided.
