The invention discloses a closed loop starting method for a resonant converter. The resonant converter comprises a bridge circuit, a resonant circuit, a transformer, a rectifier circuit, a filter circuit, an input detection circuit, a driving circuit, a peak detection circuit, an output detection circuit and a digital processor, wherein the bridge circuit, the resonant circuit, the transformer, the rectifier circuit and the filter circuit are sequentially connected in series. The input detection circuit is connected to the input end of a resonant transformation device to detect the input voltage and send the input voltage to the digital processor. The driving circuit is connected to the digital processor and converts a PWM signal into the driving level so as to drive the bridge circuit. The peak detection circuit is connected with the resonant circuit, detects the resonant current peak and sends the resonant current peak to the digital processor. The output detection circuit detects the output voltage and the output current and sends the output voltage and the output current to the digital processor. According to the closed loop starting method for the resonant converter, due to the fact that the peak detection circuit detects the resonant current peak, implementation is easy. Closed loop control is conducted on the resonant current peak in the starting process, control is easy, it is ensured that the overcurrent of the resonant converter cannot occur in the starting process, and the starting time is made optimal.
