flexibility(designer can setup any Lsand Lmvalue)-Lower radiated EMI emissionDisadvantages of this solution are:-Complicated insulation between primary and secondary windings-Worse cooling conditions for the windings-More components to be assembled9Leakage inductance of the transformer is used as a resonant inductance.Advantages:-Low cost,only one magnetic component is needed-Usually smaller size of the SMPS-Better cooling conditions for transformer windings-Insulation between primary and secondary side is easily achievedDisadvantages:-Less flexibility(achievable Ls inductance range is limited)-Higher radiated EMI emission-LLC with integrated resonant tank operates in a slightly different way than the solution with discrete Ls-Strong proximity effect in the primary and secondary

discussion-The desired operating region is on the right side of the gain characteristic(negative slope means ZVS mode for primary MOSFETs).-Gain of the LLC converter,which operates in the fsis 1(for discrete resonant tank solution)-i.e.is given by the transformer turns ratio.This operating point isthe most attractive from the efficiency and EMI point of view sinusoidal primarycurrent,MOSFETs and secondary diodes optimally used.This operating point can be reached only for specific input voltage and load(usually full load andnominal Vbulk).Gain characteristics shape and also needed operating frequency range is givenby these parameters:-Lm/Lsratio-Characteristic impedance of the resonant tank-Load value-Transformer turns ratio21How to obtain gain characteristics?How to obtain gain
