Abstract :
This paper investigates methods for modelling the effects of layout parasitics in converters. Modelling of parasitics is growing in importance with the advent of modern power switching devices, since EMI and unexpected device degradation might result when the layout parasitics are neglected. A systematic approach is taken to find a suitable engineering solution for the modelling of layout parasitics in converters employing state-of-the art planar construction methods and good correspondence with experimental results is obtained
