Abstract

This paper presents a new circuit topology known as series-parallel resonant converter (SPRC), which is a combination of both the series resonant converter (SRC) and the parallel resonant converter (PRC) topologies. This topology has several advantages when compared to the individual SRC and PRC. For example, the SPRC can operate under open load conditions, and it allows for zero-current switching operation. Using the steepest descent algorithm, the state-plane equations are numerically solved to obtain the performance characteristic curves. Based on these curves, a converter design procedure can be devised. A specific design example is given.
