I hereby present my newly invented resonant DC-DC converter circuit, named 'Pe17 circuit'.

Features:
* Resonant half/full bridge inverter, utilizing ZVS operation.
* Constant frequency switching.
* Wide input/output voltage range operation capability, suitable also for EV battery chargers.
* Higher efficiency and power density.

Brief intro:

For more details, see US patent - US11139734:

Still room for the improvement with 6% ripple Vpp
This ripple can be halved by replacing the 2x 1500 µF output capacitors with 4x 2200 µF ones (cost more money and space).
In detailed simulation, set C6=150n, C11=8.2n, R40=6k, R44=11k, R55=1k, Tdelay of V1 to 2.6 ms, and remove D15 and R42.

It goes without saying that 3000 µF is an absurdly low amount of reservoir for a 12 V output at this power level, and 6% load transition ripple still complies with ATX PSU specifications.
