Regulating the SLSR converter (also contactless) • It is necessary to achieve: • Safe Frequency Mode operation (continuous current) and (or) • Safe Pulse Width Mode (discontinuous current) at different levels of output power. • Some requirements should be respected: • Soft switching, high efficiency, high reaction speed, • no overshoot, etc. INTELEC 2011
