Improving Measuring Procedures in DC-DC Converters

The PSpice functions used for measuring the power, average and root mean square are not accurate enough because of using specific techniques like products or filters. We created fast and precise specialised behavioural blocks that obtain the power, average and root mean square values of the signals by applying an integral relation. The computation is done after the transitory regime is finished and so the values are constant and easy to be read. The method was used for measurements in DC-DC converters, where the switching period is very small (10-20 museconds).
