Abstract :
A method of analyzing the steady-state operation of DC-to-DC power converters by computer is presented which incorporates the stray power losses present in the circuit. Tailoring the solution to specific converter topologies and solving directly for steady-state operation permits rapid determination of circuit operating characteristics. The method is more accurate than can be practically obtained by hand calculations but faster than can be obtained by a general-purpose circuit-simulation program. The circuit modeling is described, the solution for the steady-state initial conditions is obtained, and the calculation of the circuit operating characteristics is briefly examined.<>
