Abstract

This paper develops a method for simultaneously designing the power stage and controller for a switching power supply. The method utilizes a numerical optimization procedure which facilitates computer-aided design. It is found that better performance can be achieved than with a traditional two-step design process where the power stage and controller are designed sequentially. Optimization and simulation results for a buck power converter are presented to illustrate the design process and benefits
