| Abstract |
A new symbolic approach to the computation of the transient and steady-state response of electronic switching power converters is presented. The method is based on the applicalion of artificial intelligence techniques and, in particular, on symbolic manipulation of algebraic expressions. A computer program based on this approach has been developed. This program, named SAPTRAN, is able to calculate automatically the requested transfer functions starting from a Spice-like input file describing the circuit under analysis. After determining the transfer functions, it is possible to perform their numerical inverse Laplace transform and to plot the graphic representation of the transient responses. |
