The LLC resonant converter has drawn much attention for high efficiency. However, its light-load efficiency still cannot meet the ever increasing requirements. This paper proposes a novel burst-mode control for the LLC resonant converter to improve the light-load efficiency. Based on the state-plane trajectory analysis, during the burst-on time, a three-pulse switching pattern is implemented. By optimizing the first pulse width, the state variables are settled to the steady state of the highest efficiency load in the minimal time, and then, the next two pulse operation follows this steady-state trajectory to achieve high burst efficiency. Moreover, when the load changes, the burst-on time with the optimal three-pulse switching pattern is maintained, but the burst-off time is modulated. As a result, the output-voltage low-frequency ripple minimally keeps constant, and no additional filter is needed. Experimental results validate the proposed techniques.
