Abstract:
A secondary controller including a control circuit coupled to a secondary switch of a power converter. The control circuit is coupled to receive a secondary switch voltage signal representative of the secondary switch, and turns ON the secondary in response in response to how many times the secondary switch voltage signal crosses below a turn on threshold to a limit set in a last half period. The control circuit turns OFF the secondary switch when the secondary switch voltage signal crosses above a turn off threshold.

Claim (Index 18):
A resonant power converter comprising:\n a high side switch configured to receive an input voltage at one end of the high side switch; a low side switch coupled to an input return at one end of the low side switch, wherein another end of the low side switch is coupled to another end of the high side switch at a half bridge node, wherein a voltage of the half bridge node resonates between a ground reference and the input voltage; a tank circuit coupled to the high side switch and the low side switch at the half bridge node; an energy transfer element coupled to the tank circuit to transfer energy from an input of the resonant power converter to an output of a resonant power converter in response to switching of the high side switch and the low side switch; and a resonant power converter controller, comprising:\n a primary controller configured to control switching of a high side switch and a low side switch in response to a request signal representative of an output of the resonant power converter; \n a secondary controller coupled to the primary controller, the secondary controller comprising:\n a switch request circuit configured to receive a feedback signal representative of the output of the resonant power converter, the switch request circuit further configured to generate the request signal in response to the feedback signal to request a transfer of energy from the input of the resonant power converter to the output of the resonant power converter; and \n a control circuit coupled to a secondary switch, the control circuit configured to receive a secondary switch voltage signal of the secondary switch, the control circuit further configured to assert a turn ON of the secondary switch in response to a plurality of times the secondary switch voltage signal is found below a turn on threshold, the control circuit further configured to assert a turn OFF of the secondary switch in response to the secondary switch voltage signal being above a turn off threshold.
