C. Gezgin et al., SIMULTANEOUS DESIGN OF POWER STAGE AND CONTROLLER FOR SWITCHING POWER-SUPPLIES, IEEE transactions on power electronics, 12(3), 1997, pp. 558-566
This paper develops a method for simultaneously designing the power st
age and controller for a switching power supply, The method utilizes a
numerical optimization procedure, which facilitates computer-aided de
sign, It is found that better performance can be achieved than with a
traditional two-step design process, where the power stage and control
ler are designed sequentially. Optimization and simulation results for
a buck converter are presented to illustrate the design process and b
enefits.
