Abstract :
A SPICE compatible model for simulating self-oscillating DC-DC converters that are based on magnetic saturation is developed and tested. The simulation method applies a nonlinear inductor model that is based on dependent sources that reflect a linear inductor in a nonlinear manner. The model was tested on a flyback type self-oscillating converter by simulation and was verified experimentally.
