Macro-model Based SPICE Simulation of DC/DC Switching Regulators
نویسنده
چکیده
A macro-model is a simplified model that emulates functional characteristics of a device or circuit, and widely used in system-level simulation. In this paper, macro-model based SPICE simulation of DC/DC switching regulators is presented. Macro-models of a power switch and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit are described. Two simulation examples are given to demonstrate the capability of these macromodels in simulating switching regulator performances.

متن کاملSpice Simulation of Ouasi-resonant Zero-current -switching Dc-dc Convertors
A simple, topology-independent method is proposed for simulating the responses of open and closed-loop quasiresonant DC-DC convertors operating in the zero-currentswitching mode (ZCS-QRC). The method hinges on the substitution of the resonant network and switch assembly, fundamental in the realisation of such systems, by an equivalent circuit which represents its average behaviour. This permits...
