o introduce the simulation methods necessary to describe
the behaviour of semiconductor devices during an electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The challenge of this task is the correct description of semiconductor devices under
very high current density and high temperature transients. As it stands, the book
can be no more than a snapshot and a summary of the research in this field
during the past few years. The authors hope that the b
g power supply consists of the power stage and the control circuit. The power
stage performs the basic power conversion from the input voltage to the output voltage
and includes switches and the output filter. This report addresses the boost power stage
only and does not cover control circuits. The report includes detailed steady-state and
small-signal analysis of the boost power stage operating in
