Abstract:
A resonant converter highly improves light load efficiency. The resonant converter blocks control signals which are used to control power switches in an input power stage and an output stage in light load condition until an output voltage drops to a preset value. The input power stage and the output stage are coupled by way of a resonant net and a transformer.

Claim (Index 9):
A method used in a resonant converter, the resonant converter being configured to receive an input voltage and to generate an output voltage to power a load, the resonant converter including an input power stage, a LLC resonant net and an output power stage, the method comprising:\n providing a clock signal with 50% duty cycle; monitoring the output voltage and a load current: when the load current is higher than a light load threshold, using the clock signal to control the input power stage and the output power stage, so as to provide the output voltage; and wherein when the load current is lower than the light load threshold, blocking the clock signal until the output voltage falls to a voltage reference signal.
