A power converter topology, comprising: a cascade connection of a first converter stage and a second converter stage; wherein the first converter stage comprises a current mode controlled pulse width modulation (PWM) converter having one or more pairs of switches forming a first switching bridge and an inductor connected to the output of the first switching bridge, the switching bridge generating a voltage Vlink; and wherein the second converter stage is a resonant converter having a switching stage having one or more pairs of switches forming a second switching bridge across the voltage Vlink generated by the first converter stage and a resonant tank connected to the output of the second switching bridge, to generate a resonator output voltage; the topology further comprising a transformer to transform the resonator output voltage to a transformed output voltage and a rectifier to rectify the transformed output voltage to an output voltage Vout, and wherein the duty cycle of the first switching bridge is varied according to a voltage derived from the value of the output voltage Vout, and wherein the duty cycle of the second switching bridge is fixed at 50:50.
