Analysis and design of DC/DC converters using symbolic approach S. Manetti, M.C. Piccirilli Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Florence, Via S. Marta, 3-50139 Florence, Italy ABSTRACT An MS-DOS personal computer program for the analysis and design of DC/DC converters is presented. The program, named SPAC (Symbolic Program for Analysis of DC/DC Converters), is based on symbolic analysis techniques and is able to calculate automatically, starting from a graphical schematic entry, the circuit s-domain network functions in a completely symbolic form. By means of suitable algorithms, it is possible to perform their numerical inverse Laplace transform. Then the graphic representation of both time and frequency responses can be obtained. INTRODUCTION The symbolic analysis is a process which permits to obtain network functions of electric circuits as expressions depending on symbolic parameters. It is used for linear, time-invarying, analog o
