Half-Bridge LLC Control using ½ CCU4
LLC Converter Power Transfer by Pulse Frequency Modulation Control (PFM)
The power transfer through an LLC converter can be controlled by frequency and/or PWM. The
operating point should focus on the inductive property slope of the gain-vs-frequency characteristic
curve, where the current phase is delayed and the gain will be reduced by increasing the frequency.

Half-Bridge LLC Converter
– Using CCU4
50% duty-cycle and center aligned modulation (referenced to the sinusoidal voltage zero-crossings)
can be achieved by two timer-cells in equal single-shot mode, interacting by alternately starting each
other.
PWM tuning may be added onto the invoked dead-times and be controlled by the compare registers.
Note:
This configuration can also be made by a single CC8y slice timer (See
LLC Converter Power Transfer by PWM Fine-Tuning Control
PWM duty-cycle also impacts on the power transfer through an LLC converter, since the amount of
energy is cycle wise injected into the resonant tank. This enables output level fine-tuning.
