Power losses estimation platform for power converters

A power losses analysis platform integrating powerful analysis software Pspice/sup /spl trade//, MathCAD/sup /spl trade// and Maxwell/sup /spl trade// capable of calculating losses on the key components in converters is presented. The operational block diagram and the analysis principle, as well as the technical issue, are discussed. One analysis example is given and the prototype is built. The validity of the analysis is verified by the experimental results.
