Abstract

 Transient analysis of RC circuit with voltage step source, constant resistor and nonlinear voltage-dependent capacitors with the capacitance given by C(vc) = Co/√(1+vc/Vbi), where Co and Vbi are constant and vc is the voltage across the capacitor, was carried out. The analysis was restricted to this class of nonlinear capacitors, because they represent with acceptable approximation the capacitances of reverse-biased Schottky diodes, which are very important and usually used in several static power converters practical applications. The charging and discharging are described by explicitly solvable nonlinear first-order differential equations. The theoretical analysis results are verified by numerical examples with computer simulation and also by experimentation in the laboratory.
