  • Publication number: 20130250623
    Abstract: A resonant conversion circuit includes resonant conversion circuit units having at least two phases interleaved in parallel, where magnetic devices in the resonant conversion circuit units are magnetically integrated in an inter-phase manner on a same magnetic core. Because a magnetic coupling action exists between the magnetic devices integrated on the same magnetic core, automatic current sharing effect is produced on currents in circuit branches of different phases. In this way, current sharing of the resonant conversion circuit units of various phases is achieved, and the volume of a power supply is reduced because of integration of the magnetic devices.
