LLC controllers

Achieve enhanced load transient response with minimal output capacitance

parametric-filterView all products
An inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) scales to high-power output levels. Complexity, efficient operation in light-load conditions and system cost are the traditional challenges associated with this topology. Our zero-voltage switching, low electromagnetic interference and low component stress controllers offer excellent audible noise immunity when paired with an optimized power factor correction and synchronous rectifier controller, even with the most demanding system requirements.

Power density

Minimize solution size while maximizing your efficiency

Our latest LLC controllers provide unique control methodologies and integrated features to simplify system design, increase efficiency across loads, and minimize audible noise. Integrated high-voltage startup and hybrid hysteretic control enable a significant reduction in the size of passive components while maintaining excellent transient response, high power density and high average efficiency. Additionally, these solutions provide a highly efficient burst mode with soft-on and soft-off periods to achieve very low standby power and low audible noise in standby operation.
