Abstract :
In this paper, a new algorithm for the behavior mode simulation of switchmode power supplies is presented. In this algorithm, a variable-topology simulation process is associated to the state-space analysis techniques. These methods have been used to develop the simulation program SUPRA which is described. Several examples are presented to illustrate the operation and the performance of this simulation tool
