Abstract:
This paper introduces the development of a generalized design and process flow dedicated to the design automation of power electronics converters. The proposed design methodology is based on power electronics building blocks (PEBB) approach together with a set of design rules allowing fast and secure design and prototyping of power converters. Compared to the regular PEBB approach where converters are produced associating pre-produced parts, our approach considers the blocks at design level, including the routing and the design factor optimization.
