DC/DC power converter behavior design

Datsen Davies Tharakan

Introduction:
This DC/DC converter can be used for system level simulation. In this example, it converts 288V input to 14 V output. The transient behavior and efficiency factors are included.

Circuit Snapshot:
Refer to the attached snapshot "dcdc_behavioral_test.png".

How to install and use this example:

1. Download the enclosed zip file to your local drive.
2. Unzip the file.
3. Launch SaberRD.
4. Navigate to the directory where the unzipped file is available.
5. Open the file that has the extension, ".ai_dsn".
6. Perform the analysis as per the settings given in the Quick Analysis box inside the schematic and plot the signals listed to understand the behavior of the design.

For more description, refer to the README file available in the zip file.

Note:
This design works in both Saber RD commercial and student edition.
