The voltage step-down ratio of traditional LLC resonant converters is constrained by transformer turns ratio and switching frequency range, and the voltage stress of the high-voltage side components is high, making it unsuitable for applications with a high step-down ratios. This paper proposes a novel LLC resonant converter with high step-down ratio to address this issue. Its voltage step-down ratio is four times that of a full-bridge LLC resonant converter, and it boasts advantages such as soft switching, self-balancing of input capacitor voltage, low voltage stress on high-voltage side components, and simplified control method. The paper elaborates on its operational mode and operating principle, and under the condition of delayed turn-off of the switching devices, provides a detailed analysis of the self-balancing mechanism of input capacitor voltage in the converter. Finally, by constructing a 2 kW experimental prototype, the paper demonstrates the advantages of the converter and validates the correctness of its operating principles.
