Figure 28. Power vs frequency curve in an resonant half-bridge

As a result, the average input current will smoothly increase, without the peaking that occurs

with linear frequency sweep, and the output voltage will reach the regulated value with

almost no overshoot.

quite empirical and is a compromise between an effective soft-start action and an effective

OCP (see next section). Please refer to the timing diagram of Figure 31 to see some

significant signals during the soft-start phase.
