Implementation of design tool for class E switching circuits using Spice <Abstract> This paper presents a design tool for class E switching circuits using Spice. This design tool is implemented by using the software of PSpice and OPTIMUS. Because of automatic calculations of bias points included in PSpice, two kinds of algorithm are prepared. One is a fast algorithm for the circuit design with ideal switch models, and the other is a slow algorithm with active device models. Both algorithms achieve high accurate designs for class E switching circuits. Moreover, easy operation is realized for the designers by using graphical user interface in OPTIMUS. We can show the validity of the proposed design procedure from two design examples. |
