The time-domain analysis of switching circuits is a time consuming process as the change of switch state produces sharp discontinuities in switch variables. In this paper, a method for fast time-domain analysis of switching circuits is described. The proposed method is based on piecewise temporal transient analysis windows joined by DC analysis at the switching instants. The DC analysis is carried out by means of fixed point homotopy to join operating points between consecutive time windows. The proposed method guarantees accurate results reducing the number of iterations heeded to simulate the circuit.

Abstract
The time-domain analysis of switching circuits is a time consuming process as the change of switch state produces sharp discontinuities in switch variables. In this paper, a method for fast time-domain analysis of switching circuits is described. The proposed method is based on piecewise temporal transient analysis windows joined by DC analysis at the switching instants. The DC analysis is carried out by means of fixed point homotopy to join operating points between consecutive time windows. The proposed method guarantees accurate results reducing the number of iterations heeded to simulate the circuit.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
