Half-Bridge LLC Control - Synchronous Rectification using CCU4
A single CCU4 CAPCOM unit is capable of driving an entire LLC converter with synchronous rectifier.
Dead-time insertions are implemented in all switch commutations.
The MOSFETs in the rectifier stage offer lower voltage drop than diodes do for high currents. The

LLC Control by Matrix-Interaction Paths in the Timer Cell Pair Setup with CC40/41 and CC42/43
All four timers work in single-shot mode. The CC40/41 timer pair interacts by alternating start requests
on a period match. However the timer CC42 is acting as a slave to the timer CC40: It will start the
CC42 on a compare match. This relationship and action is the same from timer CC41 to timer CC43.
LLC Control by Frequency, Dead-Time Delays and PWM Tuning
Frequency is changed by simultaneous period register updates by hardware (via shadow transfer
requests from the software). Dead-Times are controlled individually by compare registers.
Power transfer tuning can be accomplished by add-on control of compare registers, or by shortening
the CC42/43 single-shots.
