Abstract

Dual-output half-bridge LLC resonant converters are widely used in data centres, aerospace, portable electronic devices, new energy vehicles and other fields due to their superior performance of high frequency, high efficiency and high power density. This paper analyses the topology and operating principle of the dual output LLC resonant converter; introduces the traditional control methods and the new control methods in recent years. For each control method, its principle, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages are described. Finally, the future research direction and development trend of dual-output half-bridge LLC resonant converter are outlooked.
