Modeling and Simulation of the flyback converter using SPICE Model
The voltage is approximately constant because the bulk of the parasite must be from the numerical solution. Setting the
energy stored in the capacitor is constant, small variations are maximum time step lower significantly mitigates this problem, but

and is varying drastically otherwise. The solid dots represent
conductor ends that have a fixed voltage, and the little circles
represent conductor ends with varying voltages, hence the arrows
on the diagram.
The second visualization method sees any length of conductor
as a high impedance path at high frequency (since it is inductive).
The DC bus capacitor’s function is to sink into the ground some
high frequency content appearing at a node which is to hold
constant (DC). Therefore, if the ground is connected to the same
side as the DC node, any high frequency noise on the DC bus has a
minimal inductive conductor to pass through to reach the ground.
If connected to the other end, however, high frequency noise has to
pass through the full length of the inductive conductors, thus will
not be debited readily to the ground. This is illustrated in Figure 7. Fig. 8. Flyback simulation with modal decomposition
macromodel.
An important observation from Figure 8 is that the simulations
using the macromodel have much less damping on both MOSFET
and diode turn-off oscillations than in the simulations using
lumped elements [20]. The frequency of oscillation is the same as
that of the lumped models. The reason for this not well understood.
The first thought to come to mind is the lossless nature of the
macromodel. However, higher damping is obtained by lumped
parameter model even when the lumped resistance is excluded.
Decreasing the maximum time step in the SPICE simulator
improves the convergence of the macromodel. Therefore, the
inability to converge is arising from a numerical parasitic, which is
