Original Abstract

The contribution deals with some open problems from the area of Transient and AC analyses of large continuous-time and switched circuits with the focus on switched capacitor circuits and switched DC-DC converters. The discussed weak points of SPICE-like and SPICE-compatible simulation programs consist in the absence of finding effectively the steady-state, in an inefficient integration algorithm for the transient analysis of switching phenomena, and in the absence of a direct AC analysis of switched circuits. The paper also describes some new approaches, which could be helpful in overcoming the above limitations.

Keywords

SPICE, modeling, computer simulation, steady state, switched circuits, Newton-Raphson method, Markowitz criterion, LU factorization, generalized transfer functions.
