The Electrothermal Ben-Yaakov Model of the Diode-Transistor Switch for an Electrothermal Analysis of BUCK Converters

In the paper a new method of an electrothermal analysis of dc-dc converters operating in the steady-state is proposed. This method is based on the proposed by the authors electrothermal Ben-Yaakov model. This model was verified by comparison of SPICE simulated characteristics of the BUCK converter obtained by the proposed method and the electrothermal transient analysis.
