Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents a systematic development of steady‐state, small‐signal models of interleaved dual boost converter operating in a continuous current mode. These models are derived by employing the well‐known signal flow graph method. This signal flow graph approach provides a means to directly translate the switching converter into its equivalent graphic model, from which a complete behaviour of the converter can easily be studied. Steady‐state performance, small‐signal characteristic transfer functions are derived using Mason's gain formula. The bode plots of audiosusceptibility, input impedance, output impedance, and control‐to‐output transfer functions are determined and illustrated using MATLAB for different values of load resistances, duty ratios. Small‐signal frequency responses obtained from the signal flow graph method are validated with PSPICE simulator results. To validate the signal flow graph modelling equations, sample steady‐state experimental results are provided. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
