    Abstract: A control method of an inverter circuit includes the following steps. Firstly, a half cycle of the AC output voltage is divided into a first stage and a second stage. Then, the upper switch element and the lower switch element are controlled to be operated at a first switching frequency lower than a preset threshold frequency in the first stage, so that the inverter circuit is operated in a continuous current mode. Then, the upper switch element or the lower switch element of the bridge arm is controlled to be operated at a second switching frequency in the second stage, so that the upper switch element and the lower switch element are turned on at a preset voltage level and the inverter circuit is operated at a discontinuous current mode boundary mode.
