Simulation of Switching Converters Using Linear Capacitor Voltage and Inductor Current Prediction and Correction

In this paper an algorithm for transient simulation of switching converters using prediction and correction to calculate duty ratio is proposed. It provides large signal simulation on the level of averaged currents and voltages in the circuit. Calculation of duty ratio using inductor current and capacitor voltage prediction and correction do not require their priori knowledge. Number of circuit solving per switching period is fixed and equal to two. Using this algorithm various of constant frequency regulated switching converters can be simulated. Due to predetermined circuit values convergence problems are avoided. This algorithm results in very fast and accurate large signal simulation.
