Analysis and control of dual-output LCLC resonant converters with significant leakage inductance

The analysis, design and control of fourth-order LCLC voltage-output series-parallel resonant converters for the provision of multiple regulated outputs, is described. Specifically, state-variable concepts are developed to establish operating mode boundaries with which to describe the internal behavior and the impact of output leakage inductance. The resulting models are compared with those obtained from SPICE simulations and measurements from a prototype power supply under closed loop control to verify the analysis, modeling, and control predictions.
