“…A typical induction cooktop, that is comprised of two to four hobs, is then powered by the combination of classical resonant inverters (Fig. 5), such as the full-bridge (FB) [6][7][8], half-bridge (HB) [9], single-ended -zero current switching (SE-ZCS) [10] or single-ended -zero voltage switching (SE-ZVS) [11,12].…”

Induction heating has become the most relevant domestic heating technology due to its accurate power control, clean operation and high efficiency. Current design tendencies aim to reduce limitations in pot positioning to increase the cooktop versatility and to improve the user experience. These desired flexible surfaces are implemented by means of multi-coil structures which require the design of new multi-output power converters. This paper reviews and classifies the different inverters proposed in the literature to power multi-coil structures, and analyzes them in terms of versatility, performance, and component count.

“…Firstly, single-switch class-e inverters [9] have been studied and proposed as a cost-effective implementation which only requires one power device per inductor [10,11]. However, when implementing multi-coil systems, this approach suffers from severe control limitations due to intermodulation acoustic noise and restrictions in maximum power and soft-switching operation.…”

Flexible cooking surfaces represent the most innovative and high-performance induction heating appliances nowadays. This paper presents a multiple-output resonant inverter for multi-coil systems featuring high efficiency and flexible output power control for modern induction heating appliances. By adopting a matrix structure, the number of controlled devices can be significantly reduced while a high control versatility is ensured. The proposed converter is firstly analyzed and, in order to prove the feasibility of the proposal, a multiple-output prototype is designed and implemented. The experimental results prove the correct converter operation and output power control with multiple induction heating loads, validating the proposed approach.
