Abstract :
A comprehensive analysis method is presented that incorporates these models as well as models for board layout parasitics. A 250 kHz forward converter circuit is simulated, and circuit waveforms compared to breadboard measurements show a high level of accuracy. Sensitivity and worst-case analysis can be performed using simulation results
