A system for controlling an electrosurgical generator using a full bridge
topology is disclosed. The system includes a high voltage direct current
power source which supplies power and a radio frequency output stage
which receives power from the high voltage direct current power source
and outputs radio frequency energy at a predetermined radio frequency set
point. The system also includes one or more sensors which determine one
or more parameters of radio frequency energy being applied to tissue and
a microprocessor configured to receive one or more parameters and outputs
the predetermined radio frequency set point to the radio frequency output
stage as a function of one or more of the parameters of radio frequency
energy.
