1. A method comprising:

  • receiving an AC input voltage;

    based on the AC input voltage, controlling a resonant power converter circuit to produce a DC output voltage to power a dynamic load; and

    during generation of the DC output voltage over a range of the dynamic load;

    monitoring the AC input voltage;

    adjusting a pulse width modulation of a control signal inputted to the resonant power converter circuit to control a setting of an input power factor of the resonant power converter circuit;

    monitoring the DC output voltage; and

    adjusting a switching frequency of the control signal inputted to the resonant power converter circuit to regulate a magnitude of the DC output voltage within a desired range.
