A small-signal behavior model can be automatically generated from SPICE-compatible circuit descriptions. An important feature of the method is that the automatic generation of small-signal models does not require any practical circuit simulation. The approach can be easily implemented in a SPICE-compatible simulator. The new method is verified by modeling typical converters. The simulated results are compared with those reported in the literature.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129527670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the nonlinear programming technique, the modeling technique of the optimum control problem for a full-bridge ZVS-PWM SMPS and a flyback PWM SMPS with current mode control is introduced. A discrete nonlinear optimization algorithm is employed to find the optimum parameters of the compensation network with given power stage parameters in the meaning of minimizing the ISE index. The design results are verified by computer simulation and experiments on a two-loop flyback PWM SMPS. By using the optimum control approach, some transient performance specifications (such as stability, fast response, line and load rejection capabilities) for both full-bridge ZVS-PWM and two-loop flyback PWM SMPSs can be achieved simultaneously.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131051577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis includes the switching cell with its duty-ratio/frequency modulator, an error amplifier, an output post-filter, and an input filter. Both open-loop and closed-loop analysis are available. The program is useful for predicting the dynamic behavior of the voltage regulator or for designing the compensation of the feedback loop. The program uses the \"characteristic coefficients\" of the \"injected and adsorbed\" currents to describe the switching converter cell. The cell model based on the characteristic coefficients is completely general: it applies to virtually any converter topology, operating mode and control method. DYANA combines the general model with the particular coefficients of the cell to be analysed; therefore it is modular and can be easily updated to include new converter topologies and control methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":123138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Computers in Power Electronics","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123303444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
