Abstract :
We have developed an educational simulator for switched-mode power converter (e-SCAT) that has new algorithm and user-friendly interface. This algorithm is so fast and stable that students can always get the simulation results in a very short time. Moreover, the time step is automatically optimized so that students do not have to set and care for it. These features of this simulator play a vital role to enhance motivation of students and to continue studies for this field.
