Abstract — A general method is presented for modeling multi-
port de-de converters. It copes with multiple inputs, multiple
outputs and bidirectional ports, and is based on an averaging
formulation. A matrix description is adopted, so the technique
can be extended to converters with any number of ports. As an
example, a three-port forward-flyback converter is analyzed
using symbolic computation software (Maple V).
I. INTRODUCTION
compared with the attention paid to two-port conver-
ters, little consideration has been given to modeling
multi-output de-de converters. Important characteris-
tics such as static and dynamic cross regulation have been
little explored in the literature, and then usually only on an
ad-hoc basis — e.g. [1], [2]. Furthermore, very little work
has been done on generalized multi-port de-de converters.
For example, a personal computer power supply could com-
prise a single converter with multiple dc outputs as usual,but two dc inputs: one fed from rectitied ac mains, the other
from a secondary battery. The battery port could be bidirec-
tional, to allow recharging. A generalized de-de converter
can have multiple input ports, multiple output ports and
bidirectional ports.
This paper describes a general method for small-signal
modeling of any multi-port de-de converter. It is based on
matrices, for several reasons: they provide a compact nota-
tion; the results can be applied to converters with any num-
ber of ports; numerical matrix computations are easily
programmed using standard linear algebra packages, work-
sheets such as MathCad, and even spreadsheets; and matrixalgebra can be automated with symbolic computation pack-
ages such as Maple, Mathematical and Macsyma.
Most analyses of two-port de-de converters start by assum-
ing a stiff voltage source at the input and a resistive load at
the output. For good reasons the proposed approach does not.
At its input, a converter is often fed from a filter, or at least
via some line impedance decoupled by a capacitor. At the
output, the load’s dc characteristic many vary from constant
voltage to constant current, or be nonlinear, so a linear re-
sistive load is a special case. With other loads, the small-
signal damping will difler from that predicted using an
equivalent load resistance. Worse, the load could be induc-
tive or capacitive, and this will greatly affect the overall
system dynamics. For these cases, models developed using astiff voltage source and a resistive load will give misleading
results. Instead, the aim should be to model the converter in
isolation from its surrounding circuit. Provided its terminal
characteristics are properly represented, such a model can
subsequently be embedded within a complete power system,
allowing the interactions to be assessed with ease. This is the
basis of two-port circuit theory, adapted here to multiple
ports.
First, a generalized model of an open loop de-de converter
is developed, assuming an averaged description. Next, the
characteristics are linearized around a quiescent operating
point. Finally, the open loop model is embedded within a
feedback control loop. The method is subject to the usual
limitation of linear models: it may be inaccurate for large
signals. Nevertheless, l inearized average models have proved
popular with engineers because they allow the application of
standard linear systems control theory.
II. THE OPEN LOOP CONVERTER
A de-de converter has two or more power ports. If power
always flows into the converter it is an input por~ if power
always flows out, it is an output por~ if power can flow in
either direction, it is bidirectional. However, for generality,
the standard circuit-theory sign convention is adopted here:
the reference direction of current is into the positive terminal
of each port, as shown in Fig. 1. No distinction is made
between input and output ports; if the power at a port is
positive, it is acting as an inpuq if negative, as an output.
A. The State Vector
The model presented is based on four essential vectors, the
first of which is the state vector x(t). A general description of
a dynamical system is:

where + distinguishes a particular system. The dynamics of
an nrth-order converter can be characterized by m internal
state variables, usually the inductor currents and capacitor
voltages. These state variables can be formed into an instan-
taneous state vector, x,~l(t) q ll?~. This gives an exact de-
scription of the time varying, nonlinear circuit including, for
example, ripple at the switching frequency.
In most converters, some components of the state vector
will be “fast” (comparable to the switching frequency) and
others will be “slow”. In many cases the model can be sim-
plified by overlooking the fast variables. A suitable process
converts the time varying mth order model into a time in-
variant rzth order one, n < m. The instantaneous state vector
x,.$,(t) e RY is changed into an equivalent “low frequency”
state vector x(t) e R“.
Two approaches for eliminating the fast variables aresampling and averaging. In the first, x,.,,(t) is sampled at the
switching frequency J, and the fast variables are neglected.
(Though not attempted here, the method presented could be
adapted to a sampled data description.) Alternatively, any of
the averaging methods developed for two-port converters can
in principle be used to obtain x(t). These include the original
circuit averaging process [3], state space averaging [4],
injected-absorbed currents [5], the PWM switch model [6],
Bogoliubov averaging [7], and switching-frequency depen-
dent averaging [8]. Of particular interest are symbolic com-
putational methods [9], Discussion of the pros and cons of
particular averaging processes is outside the scope of this
papeq it is assumed that some satisfactory process exists for
mapping X,ml(f) to x(f), and that the dynamics of the conver-
ter are adequately described by the result.
B. The Port Vectors
Suppose the de-de converter has N power ports. The port
currents i, and voltages v,, r = 1 ... N, comprise a set of 2N
port variables. For each port we choose either i, or v, and
form the chosen quantities into a vector of independent vari-
ables, w(t) G RN. The remaining quantities are then formed
into a vector of dependent variables, y(t) e E%N.
There are many ways in which the port variables can be
assigned to the two vectors, some of which are more helpful
than others. For each pofi it must be decided which variable,
i or v, is to be regarded as the independent one. For instance,
if the converter is designed to deliver a constant voltage to a
load, the output port’s current should be taken as the inde-
pendent variable, because the load, not the converter, deter-
mines the current drawn. The current is independent of the
converter so it should be the independent variable. Converse-
ly, if the converter is meant to deliver a constant current, e.g.
as a battery charger. the load voltage should be taken as the

independent variable — the battery’s voltage is independent
of the converter and changes according to the state of charge.
Moving to the input port, the supply is usually approximated
by a variable voltage source, so voltage should be chosen as
the independent variable, with the converter’s input current
as the dependent variable. In control system terminology, the
components of w are disturbances to the system, whale the
components of y represent its response.
A very common situation, termed here the Ordinary Case,
is when the converter has a single input port and N – 1 out-
put ports. For this case the independent vector w best con-
sists of the input voltage and the output currents, while the
dependent vector y comprises the input current and the out-
put voltages.
C. The Control VectorLet the converter have M control variables. For example,
these might include signals that determine the duty ratio or
frequency of a switching device, or control magnetic amplifi-
ers. The control signals form a vector u(f) e lR”.
It might be thought that if M’ = N all the dependent vari-
ables of y could be individually controlled by u. This is not
necessarily so. In an ideal lossless converter, with the sign
convention adopted the total power entering the converter
must be zero. This removes one degree of freedom, so only
N – 1 components of y can be controlled by u.
Often, M < N – 1; then it is impossible to control more
than M dependent variables, and the rest must rely upon
cross regulation. If the converter is allowed losses, the total
power entering the converter is no longer constrained to
zero: it is positive and equal to the losses. Now all N depen-
dent variables can be individually controlled, for instance by
including linear regulators in the converter. (This adversely
affects efficiency.) In the Ordinary Case it is only necessary
to control the N – 1 output ports, while the input current
goes where it must.

D. Large-Signal Model loop stability, the converter will settle to a steady state where
The open loop converter can be characterized by two non-
linear vector equations linking the essential vectors u, w, x
and y:
$ x(t)= (#)[x(t),u(t), w(t)](2)
y(t) = ~[x(f), u(t), w(t)] (3)
The state equation, (2), governs the converter’s large-signal
dynamics as it reacts to the control signals and independent
port variables. Equation (3), the response equation Uoutput
equation” in control terms), describes how the dependent
port variables respond. Functions + and v are attributes of a
particular converter.
E. Linearizat ion
We next find the steady state. Let u(t)= const = U (i.e. the
control signals are held steady) and w(t) = const = W (i.e.the independent variables are dc quantities). Assuming open

the steady state operating point, Q = {U, W, X, Y}.
Now consider small perturbations around Q. Adapting the

matrices A, B, C and D have their usual linear-systems

III. THECLOSEDLOOPCONVERTER
Anobjective ofa de-de converter isto regulate against
disturbances: tomaintain certain components of y constant
despite variations in w. Ideally, ~(s)=O. This goal is ap-
proachedby applying closed loop control. In the feedback
system of Fig. 4, ~(s) iscompared tozeroto produce an errorvector, which is processed by controller K(s) to produce the
control vector i(s), thus closing the loop:
i i(s) = –K(s) j(S) (lo)
In general K(s) allows cross coupling, so that any component
of y can influence any or all components of u. From (9) and
(10) the closed loop small-signal model is obtained:
j(s) = G(s) ti(S) (a)
(11)
where G(s) = [1 + H(s) K(s)]-’ J(s) (b)I I
A condition for validity is that I + H(s)K(s) must be nonsin-
gular, which is usually true. A block schematic is shown in
Fig. 5. Note that if K(s) = O, (1 la) reduces to G(s) = J(s).
A. The Ordinary Case
The Ordinary Case is particularly important in practice.
When the N independent variables are chosen from a set of
2N port variables, there are (2N) !/(2N! ) possible combina-
tions, excluding row swaps. This number determines the
different forms of matrix G. (E.g. there are six varieties of
two-port parameters, but 60 varieties of three-port parame-
ters.) In the analysis of large multi-port networks, the usual
choice is to group all the currents into one vector and all the
voltages into the other. Depending on which vector is chosen
as independent, the resulting matrix contains either im-
pedances (z-parameters) or admittances (y-parameters).
However, these are not very useful for the present purposes,
because the y and z-parameters for an ideal converter are all
infinite.
The two-port g-parameters have been suggested by Mand-
hana [11] as a small-signal model for de-de converters:
where g,, is the converter’s input admittance, g,~ its reverse
current gain, gzl its forward voltage gain, and gzj its output
impedance. This description can be extended to the Ordinary
Case of a multi-port de-de converter if the port variables are
segregated into dependent and independent vectors as sug-
gested above, with port 1 taken as the input. Then (1 la) may
be written as
lZI=[AV(S‘out(s)1:1Here ~(s) and *(s) have been partitioned into voltage and

how input voltage changes affect the output voltages, i.e. the
dynamic line regulation of the converter
(audiosusceptibility). Ideally all its entries would be zero.
Matrix Zout(s)= ~g], i, j = 2.. .N, comprises self and mutual

thesource impedances ofeach output port, and describe the
dynamic load regulation of the converter. The off-diagonal
terms (i #J) are mutual impedances relating the port-i cur-
rent to the port~” voltage, and describe the dynamic cross
regulation. Ideally all the entries of ZOU1(S)would be zero.
For cases other than the Ordinary Case, different ways of
choosing the independent and dependent variables might be
more appropriate, and they should be considered on their
merits.
Thus the N x N transfer function matrix G(s) gives a com-
plete small-signal description of the dynamics of any N-portde-de converter. For an open loop converter (with its control
signals held constant), G(s) is identical to J(s). For a closed
loop converter under the control scheme shown, G(s) is
given by (1 la). Other forms of control (e.g. inner/outer
loops) will result in a different form for (1 lb).
IV. EWLE
As an example, an Ordinary Case converter is analyzed
using the symbolic computation package Maple V [12]. The
method can easily be applied to more complicated conver-
ters, the computer handling the increased complexity of the
algebra.
A. Open Loop Model
The three-port converter shown in Fig. 6 [13] can be sepa-
rated into two “semi-converters”: it is basically a forward
converter but, instead of the normal energy-recovery reset
winding, the transformer has a flyback winding. The forward
semi-converter operates in continuous mode, so its output
voltage depends on the duty ratio but is independent of the
switching frequency. The flyback semi-converter operates in
‘(S)*’(S)

frequency dependent block, forming a small-signal “black
box” model of a multi-port de-de converter.
discontinuous mode, so both the duty ratio and the switching
frequency tiect its output voltage. For this example n = 5
(state variables), N = 3 (ports) and h’ = 2 (control signals).
Let the four essential vectors be:
State vector x = [i~l i~z vcr vcz va] ~
Independent port vector w = [vf iol im]T
Dependent port vector y = [i, Vol va]T
Control vector u = [a jy
where i~l is the current in L1, etc., 8 is the duty ratio andj is
the switching frequency. Other quantities are defined in Fig.
6. The circuit has the following parameter values: L, =50~.
L,= 600p.H, L, = 60pH, Cl = 47pF, C, = 470@, C, = 470@,
F.= 49kHz, A = 0.3, NJNP = 20/14, ~ = 28V, 101 = –1A, Io,
= –1A. The output voltages are intended to be VO1= 12V, V02
= 12V.
The “low frequency” state equation may be found by a
naive averaging process as:
—
(V1- vcl)/L1

The operating point is found by letting ill = 1~1, i~2 = I~j,

The H(s) and J(s) matrices are found by computing (10)

Jlllat:- —evalm(Cinat&*iwerse (s * &*() -Amat) &*13mt+Fmat) ;
H(s) is 3 x 2; J(s) is 5 x 5.
The full expressions for H(s) and J(s) are too complex to
reproduce here but, substituting numerical parameter values
and settings = O, t heir dc values are found as

At other frequencies the entries will be complex numbers.
Columns 1 and 2 of H(0) indicate the effect of duty ratio
and switching frequency variations, while rows 1, 2 and 3
refer to the input current and the two output voltages. Thus,
for example, if the duty ratio is increased from 0.30 to 0.31,
the input current will increase by 4.286 x 0.01 = 42.86mA,
the forward output voltage will increase by 40 x 0.01 =
400mV, and the flyback output voltage will increase by 80 x
0.01 = 800mV. If the switching frequency is increased from
49 to 50kHz, the input current will decrease by 0.875x10-5
x 1000 = 8. 75mA, the forward output voltage will be unaf-
fected, and the flyback output voltage will decrease by 2.45 x
10-4 x 1000 = 245mV (all dc values).
Thejll = 0.0153 entry of J(0) means the incremental input
conductance is 15 .3mS. The jlz = –0.4286 entry is the cur-
rent gain from the forward output current to the input cur-
rent (negative because all currents are defined as flowing
into the converter). Increasing the flyback output current
does not affect the input current, as shown byjl~ = O, due to
the open loop discontinuous mode operation. The voltage
gains from the input voltage to the two output voltages arejzl
= 0.4286 and j,] = 0.8571 (poor line regulation). The for-
ward output resistance is jzz = 0f2 (perfect load regulation),
while the flyback output resistance is j~t = 12f2 (poor load
regulation). The two mutual resistances jj~ = J“qz= Of2 mean
that this idealized converter has perfect cross regulation.
B. Closed Loop Model
Suppose the loop is closed by adding a simple proportional
controller with no cross coupling:

The 3 x 3 G(s) matrix can now be calculated from (14):
-t := evalm(mverse( &*() + Hmat &* Kraat) &* Jinat) ;
The resulting (extremely large) expression may be simplified
by substituting numerical values for the parameters. Inverse
Laplace transformation can be used to find the response to
steps and other fhnctions, or the matrix may be evaluated in
the frequeney domain by setting s = jm. Fig. 7 shows the
dynamic line regulation of the two semi-converters, in open
loop and closed loop with K] = 5, Kz = –50. (No evaluation
of stability was made, but in practice this must be done.)
To see the effect of intlnite dc loop gain (e.g. by including
ideal integrators in the controller), s was set to zero and the
limit taken as K, -+ m, K2 -+ -m. The new value of G is

which may be compared with the equivalent open loop ma-
trix, J(0). The inlinite loop gain has made the input conduc-
tance negative, g,, = –30.6mS. The reverse current gains are
now both -0.4286. The line, load and cross regulation are
perfect, as shown by the zeroes in rows 2 and 3.
As in [13], the duty ratio was employed to regulate the
forward semi-converter and the switching Iiequeney was
used for the flyback semi-converter. The two control loops
interact, see Fig. 7. For better results the loops should be
decoupled; this will be discussed in a planned future paper.
The full Maple listing of this example is available from
the author on request.
v. CONCLUSION
A technique has been presented for modeling a general-
ized N-port converter, in isolation from its sources and loads.
The starting point is an averaged large-signal state equation,
obtained by any applicable method. The outcome is a fidl
open loop model. This can be embedded within a control
loop to give a complete small-signal dynamical model, G(s),
for any multi-port de-de converter. The matrix formulation is
particularly suited to automatic computation, either numer-
ical or symbolic.
