| dc.description.abstract | The imminent introduction of a dual-voltage automotive electrical system has motivated the development of dc/dc converters that are optimized it terms of price, weight, and volume. This thesis investigates the design and optimization of dc/dc converters for dual-voltage automotive electrical system. A prototype dc/dc converter is developed and experimental evaluated, and is used to identify a number of tradeoffs and critical design issues. Based on this information, a CAD optimization tool is developed which allows the design space to be rapidly explored and highly optimized converter design to be developed. The CAD optimization tool is also used to study the effects of variations in system-level specifications on the characteristics of optimized converters. | en_US |
