Functional check
AN3233
In Figure 13 it can be noted that the resonant current at turn-on has some oscillations due to
the charging of the resonant elements. However, current zero-crossing always lags the HB
commutations and, consequently, MOSFETs are soft switched.
Figure 14 shows the resonance current at shutdown. Due to input voltage dip, the LLC stage
operates below resonance, but current still lags the HB voltage.
Avoiding hard switching also during transitions like startup and shutdown is a must for a
reliable design, because some hard switching commutations could also damage the
converter.

No-load operation
In Figure 15 and 16, some burst mode waveforms are captured. As seen, both L6599A and
L6563H operate in burst mode. In Figure 16, it is possible to see that PFC and LLC bursts
are synchronized.
