2.2.3
Voltage gain
It is for efficiency optimization to operate the LLC converter around the resonant frequency at nominal
input voltage, where the voltage gain
is neglected due to the implementation of individual resonant choke.
The worst case we need to consider for resonant network and transformer design is the full load
operation at minimum input voltage
