Abstract:
The electronics has evolved greatly in recent decades. The number of electronic devices and applications has grown exponentially to become indispensable in our daily lives. Specifically, in the field of power electronics, the power converters DC-DC, widely used in supply systems of electronic equipment, require a high efficiency. Thus, the thesis presents a new method for the design of DC-DC converters to optimize nonlinear objective function with nonlinear constraints. The model developed presented, in most cases, a problem which consists in the optimum design of minimum losses. However, also presents the optimal design of converters maximizing bandwidth. And is intended to show how easy it can be modified the design program. The problem is modelled as a Geometric Programming problem to exploit the advantages of convex optimization.
