Abstract

A method for controlling a direct current gain of a resonant converter to increase power efficiency within a circuit. A phase shift module is configured to the resonant converter for generating a first control signal to control a primary driver of the resonant converter and a secondary control signal to control a secondary driver of the resonant converter. The first control signal and the secondary control signal have a phase shift for controlling a DC gain of the resonant converter.
