difference between onno-resonant and LLC resonant smps?

[grizedale]

if we take an LLC series resonant Half-bridge.....

-then make the resonant capacitor very large
-then make the leakage term 30 times less than the magnetising term

...then is this still a resoant smps?

How small does the leakage term have to become before we say its no longer a resonant smps?

And is a resonant converter that switches in the capacitive region more lossy than a normal hard-switching half-bridge converter?

You are achieving two things
- moving from LLC to series LC resonant converter
- reducing resonant Q
Switching behaviour and current waveform would indicate, if it's still a resonsnt converter
