Abstract

SummaryA three‐leg resonant converter is proposed to drive two light emitting diode (LED) lamps of different power ratings. This may be required when both main and local lighting are essential. The proposed converter is operated simultaneously at two different frequencies. Two series resonant circuits are used to allow two different frequency currents. Each lamp is powered through a series resonant circuit and is controlled independently. LED lamp currents are regulated at the desired operating current by using phase‐modulation control and asymmetrical duty ratio control. In addition, pulse‐width modulation (PWM) dimming control is implemented for two LED lamps independently. The proposed topology has advantages of zero‐voltage switching (ZVS), regulation of lamp currents, independent illumination control, and high efficiency. A 126‐W prototype has been developed experimentally to confirm its working principle, performance, and validity.
