US Patent 11404965 DC-DC converter, on-board charger, and electric vehicle

A DC-DC converter includes: a first three-phase bridge module, a resonance module, a second three-phase bridge module, and a controller. The second three-phase bridge module is configured to: adjust frequency of an input signal of a battery module during discharging; and in a light load mode, the controller is configured to: control the first three-phase bridge module to switch to a two-phase bridge arm input or a one-phase bridge arm input and the second three-phase bridge module to switch to a two-phase bridge arm output, and control the second three-phase bridge module to switch to a two-phase bridge arm input or a one-phase bridge arm input and the first three-phase bridge module to switch to a two-phase bridge arm output during discharging, thereby reducing a switch loss in the light load mode.
