Lumped equivalent circuits of magnetic components: the gyrator-capacitor approach

In place of the conventional reluctance-resistance analogy for forming lumped equivalent circuits of inductive components, a permeance-capacitance analogy is advocated. In this approach, magnetic paths are modeled by capacitive circuits and windings are represented by gyrator two-ports. The technique is applied to the integrated magnetics of a zero-ripple isolated Cuk DC-DC converter allowing its electrical and magnetic circuits to be simultaneously simulated with SPICE
