DEVELOPING MODELING AND SIMULA

This dissertaTIon develops a modeling and simulaTIon methodology for design,

verificaTIon, and tesTIng (DVT) power supply system using a virtual prototype. The

virtual prototype is implemented before the hardware prototyping to detect most of the

design errors and circuit deficiencies that occur in the later stage of a standard hardware

design verification and testing procedure. The design iterations and product cost are

reduced significantly by using this approach.
