Abstract
Variations in the behavior of power supplies caused by environmental conditions require accurate characterization of the electrical behavior dependence with environmental conditions. This paper introduces models to help predict RH and other environmental factors influence on sensitive circuitry in power electronic systems. An application example of a high power density, high voltage DC-DC converter is used to verify the results.
