Abstract:
A resonant power converter has a main switch, a resonant tank coupled across the main switch, and a signal processing circuit coupled to the main switch and the resonant tank. The signal processing circuit generates a driving signal for driving the main switch ON and OFF at a switching frequency. The resonant tank includes circuit components designed to have a resonant frequency that is tuned to a designed switching frequency of the main switch. The signal processing circuit includes a zero voltage switching (ZVS) circuit, a signal generator, a detection circuit, and a latch oscillator. The signal processing circuit is configured to adjust the switching frequency of the driving signal to be tuned to the actual resonant frequency of a resonant tank under very high switching frequency conditions, 1 MHz and greater, thereby accounting for the influence of parasitics at very high switching frequencies and achieving resonance of the circuit.

Claim (Index 9):
The resonant power converter of  claim 8  wherein the switching frequency is greater than or equal to 1 MHz, further wherein at switching frequencies greater than or equal to 1 MHz, the resonant frequency is altered to an altered resonant frequency different than the designed resonant frequency due to parasitics in the switch at the switching frequency greater than or equal to 1 MHz, and the signal processing circuit selectively adapts the switching frequency to an adapted switching frequency different than the designed switching frequency to tune the adapted switching frequency to the altered resonant frequency.
