Extension of state-space averaging to resonant switches and beyond

It is shown that the state-space averaging method can be extended by linear network theory from the domain of pulse-width-modulated converters to a much larger class, including resonant switches and current-programmed mode. The canonical model concept is also extended, and it is shown that the effect of resonant switching is to introduce a feedback block into the generalized canonical model. These results are applied to linear zero-current and zero-voltage resonant switches, a new class of nonlinear resonant-switch converters, and the current-programmed mode. Equivalent circuit models are developed for both full and half-wave operation, and experimental verification is presented
