Computer aided analysis and design of load commutated resonant converters

This paper introduces a computer program, LCRC (load commutated resonant converters), based on frequency domain and time domain formulation procedures and design-oriented analysis of load commutated DC-DC resonant power converters with two or three reactive elements. LCRC provides parametric curves and performance characteristics to facilitate the optimum design of these power converters. Simulation results and state variable expressions can also be obtained interactively from the LCRC package.
