An apparatus for controlling an inverter circuit of an induction heat
cooker which generates and outputs high voltage power to cook food
contained in a cooking container is disclosed. The apparatus varies a
pulse width of high level interval of a driving pulse according to a
level of AC power supplied thereto to vary a switch current of the
inverter circuit, and sufficiently secures a turn off time of the driving
pulse in proportion to a resonant time varying according to states of
separation of the cooking container or the heated food. Therefore, the
apparatus improves stability of the switching operation and endurance.
Also the apparatus requires relatively low manufacturing costs as the
trigger generation is implemented with relatively low-priced amplifiers.
