Time-Domain Analysis of Resonant
and Soft-Switching Converters
Principles of state-plane analysis and averaging
In a large number of cases, the circuit waveforms are not approximately
sinusoidal
The mechanisms of soft-switching PWM converters cannot be understood
using the sinusoidal approximation
The mechanisms of switching loss in hard-switched PWM converters
cannot be understood using the sinusoidal approximation
“Exact” time-domain analysis of these converters initially appears to be
very complex, but is considerably simplified when certain analysis
principles are employed (there are 4-5 logical leaps to be learned)
Goals of this part of the course:
• learn the basic analysis principles
• learn to analyze the basic soft-switching circuits and resonant
converters
• learn the physical properties of the most well-known soft-switching
converters
