Recent advances in modern power semiconductor device technology have led to high utilization of PWM power
converter in wide number of applications. In PWM converter the power switches are switched at higher frequency. Switching
losses are more in PWM converter. An alternative for it is to replace the power switch by resonant switch. In resonant
switch, switching at zero voltage/zero current at high frequency. At high frequency switching-loss and power loss are
increase, but switched at ZVS/ZCS condition losses are decrease. This can be achieved by forcing current and voltage to pass
through zero crossing by creating LLC resonant circuit. So, switching losses are decreased and efficiency is improved.
Design steps of Full bridge LLC resonant converter and Simulation and its results are represent in this paper.
