Computer program for fast simulation and optimization of single-ended inductor-fed zero-voltage switching series-resonant DC/DC converters and DC/AC inverters with any loading topology

摘要

An application-specific program, RESOCAD (RESonant converter CAD), is described that computes more than 250 times as fast as do general-purpose simulation programs, for single-ended, inductor-fed, zero-voltage-switching, series-resonant DC/DC converters and DC/AC inverters and for resonant rectifiers. The program computes steady-state periodic waveforms, input and output powers, all power dissipations, efficiency and inefficiency values, and control functions. It can adjust user-designated circuit parameters to optimize a design on the basis of efficiency and output power, voltage, or current.
