A method of calculating control parameters for a compact resonant converter in an onboard charger module that will exhibit reduced electrical switch stress and improved operational longevity, said method comprising the steps of: constructing a theoretical computer model of a series-parallel resonant converter circuit to determine a theoretical minimum switching frequency (frange limit) that can produce a desired range of output amperage; calculating the maximum possible snubber capacitors capacitance (max Cds_n) usable for the circuit while still maintaining the desired range of output amperage using the equation max Cds_n=(0.5frange)(iq1off)/2Vinput DC Bus; choosing a commercially available snubber capacitors that exhibits capacitance (Cchosen) lower than the previously calculated max Cds_n; calculating the time required for the chosen snubber capacitors to fully discharge (tdischarge) using the following equation tdischarge=CeqvVbus/ires turn-off where Ceqv=Cchosen Cchosen+2Coss where Coss=MOSFET non-linear output capacitance; Programming the MOSFET switching speed to allow dead time tdeadtime to equal 1.05tdischarge, thereby avoiding either too little or too much dead-time to discharge the snubber capacitors and realizing reduced electrical switch stress and increased switch operational longevity. Claim: 2. A compact resonant converter in an onboard charger apparatus capable of exhibiting reduced electrical switch stress and increased operation switch longevity, said apparatus comprising: a resonant tank featuring a resonant inductor, a resonant capacitor, an isolation transformer, and a parallel capacitor; a plurality MOSFET switches; and a snubber capacitor in parallel with each said MOSFET switch, wherein the MOSFET switching time tdeadtime is programmed proportionate to the capacitance of the snubber capacitors such that tdeadtime is greater than tdischarge but less than or equal to 1.05tdischarge; where tdischarge=(CeqvVbus/ires turn-off) where Ceqv=Cchosen+Cchosen+2Coss), thereby reducing MOSFET switch stress and increasing operational MOSFET switch longevity.
