Techniques of Design-Oriented Analysis

University of Colorado Boulder

This course offers comprehensive training in design-oriented analysis techniques for switching power converters, specifically focusing on the Extra Element Theorem (EET) and N-Extra Element Theorem (N-EET). Through practical examples and applications, you will gain insights into models of switching power converters and learn how to translate these insights into practical designs. This course is the second in the Modeling and Control of Power Electronics sequence and is ideal for individuals seeking analytical skills applicable to the design of high-performance closed-loop controlled switching power converters.

Key learning outcomes include understanding and applying both the EET and N-EET to converter analysis and design problems. Practical examples, MATLAB scripts, and Spice simulations support the modeling and design exercises, providing hands-on experience in applying design-oriented analysis techniques to achieve high-performance closed-loop controls for switching converters.

Course Modules

This course comprises three modules: The first covers the Extra Element Theorem, the second delves into the design example of SEPIC frequency responses, and the third focuses on the N-Extra Element Theorem (NEET). Each module provides in-depth instruction and practical applications of the respective theorem.

Extra Element Theorem

This module introduces the Extra Element Theorem (EET) and covers its derivation and practical applications, including graphical comparisons of impedances using MATLAB. You will also gain insights into how the EET can simplify circuit analysis and design damping of converters to achieve high-performance closed-loop controls.

Design example: SEPIC frequency responses

This module explores the design example of SEPIC frequency responses using the EET. Practical design of damping and practical examples using MATLAB and LTspice are covered. Additionally, the module delves into the frequency responses of the Cuk converter using the EET.

N Extra Element Theorem (NEET)

This module provides an introduction to the N-Extra Element Theorem (NEET) and its application to circuit analysis and design problems. Practical examples, including boost analysis using the NEET, demonstrate the effectiveness of this theorem in simplifying circuit analysis and deriving circuit responses.
