High-Temperature, High Density Packaging of a 60 KW Converter for > 200ࠃ Embedded Operation		This work was originally for an SBIR grant for the Navy. This later presented at APEC 2006. It shows the analysis and method for designing a high temperature, high-density converter using SiC JFETs.
Large- Signal Model of a Downstream DC/DC Converter for Analysis and Design of Front-End PFC Rectifier using Computer Simulation		This was presented at both PESC 2002 and APEC 2003. It shows a modeling technique to analyze PFC Boost converters using Simplis.
A Method for Inductor Core Loss Estimation in Power Factor Correction Applications		This was presented at both CPES 2002 and APEC 2002. It shows a method using Simplis in determining the core loss of PCF boot inductor.
An Introduction To Power Electronic Modules		Presentation written in 2002. This is basically an on-line course on power supplies, but with Celestica products and marketing input. A shortened version of this presentation is available.
Modeling of Emission and High Injection Effects on a Four-Layer Semiconductor Structure		Ron Wunderlich’s Doctoral thesis at Binghamton University, 1995. The Thesis was on modeling the high injection effects of 4 layer devices such as SCR’s. My modeling included V, I and temperature characteristics based on doping profile.
Modeling the Gate More Accurately for Power MOSFETs		This is an offshoot of Ron Wunderlich’s Master’s Thesis. Published in January 1994 in IEEE Transactions on Power.
Software Breadboards for Power Electronic Circuits		This is a paper showing how to model a power supply like a breadboard on the computer. Published in April 1991 IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.
Modeling the Gate More Accurately for Power MOSFETs		This is Ron Wunderlich’s Masters Thesis. It’s on improving the gates on Power MOSFETs. At that time Power MOSFET models were just being developed. Syracuse University Master Thesis 1989.
Device Level Simulation for Power Converters-2		Paper Showing how to model a power supply as a device using average modeling techniques. Published in Power Technics 1989.
Device Level Simulation for Power Converters		Another version of the above paper, but presented at APEC 1989.
A General Computer Aided Tool to Assess the Impact of Component Value Tolerance on Power Supply Performance		This paper applied the average modeling technique to a power supply, but statistically varied the component values to show how stability can be impacted. Presented at APEC 1989.
Computer Aided Electrical Design of Power Processing Systems		This is the original version of the above paper showing how to model a power supply using the average modeling technique. APEC 1988
