Frequency Tracking Control Strategy for Resonant Inverter Based on Pulse Density Modulation by ZHU Hui, PENG Yonglong, LU Zhibin, LI Yabin

“…Output load current is applied to fast frequency tracking, thus the phase-locked loop (PLL) has enough time to lock the phase, and when the load current is dropping to a very small value, that is, entering into a natural attenuation state, the sample and hold (S/H) circuit in modified phase-locked loop (MPLL) ensures power inverter operating in the vicinity of resonant frequency. …”
