Design verification and testing of power supply system by using virtual prototype

This paper proposes a simulation approach to verify and test power supply system by using a virtual prototype before the hardware prototyping in a single simulation environment. By applying the proposed methodology, the designer can use the virtual prototype effectively by keeping a short simulation CPU time as well as catching most of the design problems.
