Abstract

This paper presents a fast general computer algorithm for an analysis of switching converters including various types of resonant converters. The algorithm deals not only with the analysis of steady-state characteristics, but also with the analysis of dynamic characteristics. Frequency responses are derived very quickly, and stability characteristics are clarified. This paper also introduces an actual simulator program that was developed based on the algorithm. This simulator is so compact that it runs fully on a personal computer. The validity of the algorithm is confirmed by comparing simulation and experimental results
