Switch-Mode POWER SUPPLIES Spice Simulations and Practical Designs

Switch-Mode POWER SUPPLIES Spice Simulations and Practical Designs

Generic Current Mode Controller in Buck Circuit

Generic Current Mode Controller in Buck Circuit

This advanced modeling and simulation class focuses on the topics needed to successfully model and simulate switch mode power supplies.

The class content parallels the material presented in Christophe Basso’s excellent book, focusing on basic power conversion concepts, building generic modeling blocks and combining into controllers, and then covers practical simulation techniques of SMPS designs.
