Energy-conservation approach to modeling PWM DC-DC converters

Abstract

A systematic method is presented for including parasitic resistances and offset voltage sources of power switches in averaged dynamic large-signal, DC, and small-signal circuit models of pulse-width modulated (PWM) converters operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM). This method is based on the principle of energy conservation. The approach takes into account the inductor current ripple. For zero-ripple current, the method gives the same results as the state-space averaging method. Reflection rules are introduced and used to simplify the models. As an example, a modeling procedure for the PWM buck converter is detailed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
