Thanks for the info Kensmith.
I'm new at posting..A reply went out before I completed writing.
Neglecting the controller propagation delay and transient times for the moment..
It's those poles and zeros in the Cuk top. I'm wondering about..
I've made bode plots of amplifiers.. Set an operating point and sweep a sine...easy.. Look at the gain and phase and one can determine stability.
But the Cuk...it's like 2 operating points (on&off) switching a RLC network with a duty and frequency. With a hysteresis controller the timing is formed by the output inductor current banging into the hysteresis limits. (Hysteresis control current feedback.)
I've heard that Cuk Topology (and like switchers) can be tranformed so that spice can make a bode plot. Something to do with replacing the catch diode and switching Mos with functions so that the switching is averaged.. I'm not sure but I think the whole network is warped into some linear approximation so that there's one operating point and a sweep can be done. (I've noticed some spice programs are using blocks for buck and boost..) ...And this is where I lose it...How to sweep a Cuk?
While writing this I did notice the post about LTSPice and averaging ..so I'll check that out. Thanks
