ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the methods used to simulate mathematical expressions in the Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) program. It also discusses simulation examples and further justifications for simulations based on the low-frequency behavior models. The chapter describes some new techniques of developing a combined model for both continuous and discontinuous modes of operation. It introduces a method to develop a combined model for both continuous and discontinuous modes of operation. Typical simulation examples will be given in the form of attachments to illustrate the power of computer simulation. These examples may also be used by circuit designers as starting points for developing their own converter models or simulation files for specific applications. Many converters are designed to provide multiple outputs. The usual method is to use a high-frequency power transformer with multiple secondary windings, each winding providing one output.
