ABSTRACT:
An induction cooking apparatus and method for inductively heating cookware is provided. An analog/digital circuit, including a microprocessor, generates a plurality of gating pulses for operating the power inverter circuit and monitors the operation of the power inverter circuit. The microprocessor provides signals to start and stop the inverter circuit, and determines a period of uninterrupted power inverter circuit operation corresponding to a desired cooking temperature. Analog circuitry is provided for sustaining operation of the power inverter circuit after the power inverter circuit is started, and for compensating for variations in cookware materials.
