An analysis is presented for the transfer functions of a particular pulse-width modulator and power switch subsystem that has been widely used in practical switching-mode d-c regulator systems. The switch and filter are in a "buck" configuration, and the switch is driven by a constant- frequency variable duty-ratio push-pull magnetic modulator employing square-loop cores. The two transfer functions considered are that with modulator control signal as input and that with line voltage as input. For a-c signals, the corresponding describing functions (DF) are derived. It is shown that current-source drive to the modulator extends the control DF frequency response over that with voltage drive, and that complete cancellation of the effects of line variations can be obtained at d-c but not for a-c. Experimental confirmation of the analytical results for the control DF are presented.read more

A general unified approach to modelling switching-converter power stages
R.D. Middlebrook,Slobodan Cuk +1 more
TL;DR: A new canonical circuit model is proposed, whose fixed topology contains all the essential inputr-output and control properties of any dc-todc switching converter, regardless of its detailed configuration, and by which different converters can be characterized in the form of a table conveniently stored in a computer data bank to provide a useful tool for computer aided design and optimization.

Modeling of control loop behavior of magamp post regulators
TL;DR: In this paper, small signal-control models for a magnetic amplifier switching-mode post regulator for SMPS applications are presented, and the open-loop gain is shown to be a two-pole, single-zero transfer function for continuous mode operation and a single pole transfer function (SZT) for discontinuous mode operation.

Describing functions of power electronics circuits using progressive analysis of circuit waveforms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a technique for calculating the AC line-to-output and control-tooutput transfer characteristics of DC/DC converters, in which the time instants switching from one topology to the next one are a priori unknown and are determined by threshold conditions (i.e., by the time evolution of the converter waveforms).
