Current Injected Equivalent Circuit Approach to Modeling and Analysis of Current Programmed Switching DC-DC Converters (Discontinuous Inductor Conduction Mode)

The current injected equivalent circuit approach (CIECA) to modeling switching converter power stages is extended to model the current programmed converter power stages operating in fixed frequency discontinuous inductor conduction mode. To demonstrate the method, the modeling is carried out for the buck, boost, and buckboost converters to obtain small signal linear equivalent circuit models that represent both input and output properties. The results of these analyses are presented in the form of linear equivalent circuit models as well as transfer functions.
