Claim Text:
1. A method for operating a resonant converter, the resonant converter comprising an inverter circuit, the inverter circuit comprising a plurality of switches, the method comprising: switching each of the switches of the plurality of switches at an actuation frequency and with a phase shift relative to each other, such that a voltage at an output of the inverter circuit has a duty factor, wherein the plurality of switches comprises a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, and a fourth switch, wherein the first switch and the second switch form a first bridge path, and wherein the third switch and the fourth switch form a second bridge path; and determining the actuation frequency and the duty factor for an assignable operating point and with an assignable phase reserve of the resonant converter, wherein a latching time is smaller than the phase reserve divided by 2π times the actuation frequency, wherein the latching time indicates a period of time between switching of the first switch and the second switch and between switching of the third switch and the fourth switch.
