  • Abstract
    AC and DC power MOSFET models for the design of resonant power converters are described. The influence of device parameters on the circuit performance is investigated in detail. A 1 MHz resonant converter circuit is simulated, and circuit waveforms are shown to agree with breadboard measurements with a high level of accuracy. Thus, design optimization can be performed through simulations without the need of breadboard iterations.<>
