Nonsmooth Modeling and Simulation for Switched Circuits

Nonsmooth Modeling and Simulation for Switched Circuits offers a comprehensive examination of the modeling and numerical simulation of switched circuits using the approach of nonsmooth dynamical systems (NSDS). The book addresses the application of piecewise-linear and multivalued models of electronic components such as diodes, transistors, and switches. It includes numerous examples ranging from basic academic circuits to various types of power converters. The results of the simulations, conducted with the open SICONOS software package from INRIA, are presented in detail. Additionally, comparisons with SPICE and hybrid methods are made to highlight the strengths of the NSDS approach. This specialized book is aimed at researchers and engineers in the field of circuit simulation and design, but it may also be of interest to applied mathematicians dealing with the numerical analysis of nonsmooth dynamical systems, as well as researchers in systems and control engineering.
