Two-Stage Resonant Power Conversion
VQNIX separates the power conversion architecture into an optimized Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost stage followed by an isolated LLC resonant DC-DC converter.
By operating the LLC converter at or near its resonant frequency, the primary switching devices undergo Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) and the secondary diodes undergo Zero-Current Switching (ZCS). This eliminates capacitive turn-on spikes and reverse-recovery ringing, keeping radiated EMI exceptionally low.
