Abstract :
In this paper, a systematic approach for the behavior-mode simulation of power electronic circuits is presented. To solve the problem of switch-state detection in behavior-mode simulation, a simple-to-implement reinitialization technique is introduced. Furthermore, the issue of time-step selection is discussed. It is illustrated through examples that behavior-mode simulation complements the detailed-mode simulation and enhances the efficiency of the computer-aided analysis and design of power electronic circuits
