High efficiency, high power density and wide output voltage are required for on-board charger (OBC) applications. LLC resonant converter has the advantage of achieving zero-voltage switching for variable frequency and different load conditions. Compared with conventional fundamental harmonic approximation method, operation-mode analysis based on the time domain model provides an accurate description of resonant current, voltage and DC gain. In this study, the efficiency-oriented modified method is proposed based on the operation-mode analysis. The converter inductance ratio, characteristic impedance and transformer turns ratio are optimised and both-side soft switching can be achieved in the high output voltage region. Conduction loss can be minimised by optimising resonant parameters. Finally, a high-efficiency design method is proposed and validated through experiments on a 3.3 kW prototype applied in OBC. The prototype of the LLC resonant converter has been tested for dynamic charging voltage (230–430 V) with a peak efficiency value of 98.5%.
