Soft start-up for high frequency LLC resonant converter with optimal trajectory control

This paper investigates the soft start-up for high frequency LLC resonant converter with optimal trajectory control. Two methods are proposed to realize soft start-up for high frequency LLC converter by commercial low-cost microcontrollers (MCU). Both methods can achieve soft start-up with minimum stress and optimal energy delivery. One method is mixed-signal implementation by sensing resonant tank to minimize the digital delay. Another method is digital implementation with look-up table. Experimental results are demonstrated on 500kHz 1kW 400V/12V LLC converter.
