Abstract: A resonant mode DC-to-DC converter is provided with an overcurrent protection circuit. The converter includes a switching circuit T1 to T4 connected across a DC supply 6, 7, a transformer 1 with a primary winding connected to the switching circuit output, and a rectifier with an input connected to the transformer secondary winding and an output supplying the converter output voltage. The switching control circuit 2 includes a voltage-controlled oscillator and the frequency of the switching drive signals is changed on detection of excessive current into the transformer primary windings to limit the current flow. To provide overcurrent protection a current transformer 5 is set in series in the primary winding current path, a low pass filter C1, R5, R3, R4 is connected to the secondary winding L5 of the current transformer to provide a rectified signal to the threshold detector including transistor Q1. The output of the threshold detector is provided to the VCO via diode D5 to determine the oscillator frequency. The frequency is changed as the magnitude of the voltage across the secondary of the current transformer increases beyond a predetermined voltage to limit the current flowing through the switching devices.
