Abstract

This brief proposes an improved averaged small-signal model of pulse-width modulated dc-dc power converters operated in continuous-conduction mode, which includes a resistance that corresponds to the switching power loss. Through this model, the switching power loss can be incorporated into existing averaged small-signal dynamic models. The proposed approach is based on the principle of conservation of energy. The expressions for the equivalent switching-loss resistance for the basic converter topologies are derived. The improved dc and small-signal models of the switching network are given. A boost dc-dc converter is considered as an example. The effect of the switching-loss resistance on the small-signal control-to-output transfer function is shown. Experimental results are given and the theoretical predictions have been validated.
