Abstract

An approach is provided for limiting or eliminating residual energy in a resonant network before restarting a resonant converter including the resonant network. An energy resetting module is configured to the resonant converter for limiting a peak current occurring in a switching circuit of the resonant converter by resetting energy remaining in a resonant circuit of the resonant converter after the resonant converter is turned off.
