A multi-stage, push-pull driven, resonant DC-AC converter ties the
center-taps of primary windings of respective push-pull stages together,
and drives each center-tap with a current source. Tying the center-taps
of the primary windings of the respective DC-AC converters' transformers
together forces the voltages at these locations to be the same, so as to
achieve mutual resonant synchronization between the two stages.
Connecting the center-taps to a current source provides the necessary
power for each stage and allows for a variation in current between
stages, as the center-tap voltages track one another. The tied-together
center-tap voltage is monitored to obtain the zero voltage switching
required for efficient operation of switching devices of each DC-AC
converter stage.
