Abstract:
A resonant power converter includes an event generator and multiple separate resonant tanks configured as second harmonic filters. The event generator is configured to generate a predetermined resonant switching frequency to which the resonant tanks are tuned, to selectively apply voltage stress harmonic links using the resonant tanks, and to control zero voltage switching time and peak current through the switching devices. Configuring and operating the resonant power converter in the manner described herein enables the resonant power converter to maintain a substantially constant efficiency over varying input line voltage, making the efficiency of the resonant power converter substantially independent of the input line voltage value.

Claim (Index 17):
A free running resonant power converter configured to receive as input a varying input voltage from an input voltage source and to output an output voltage, the free running resonant power converter comprising:\n a. a resonant power converter having a main switch and multiple variably enabled resonant tanks; and b. a signal processing circuit coupled to the resonant power converter to selectively enable various ones of the multiple variably enabled resonant tanks according to a sensed value of the input voltage and to a sensed value of a first terminal of the main switch to maintain a constant efficiency of the free running resonant power converter over varying input line voltage values.
