The method of state-space averaging has been successfully applied to pulse-width modulated power converters, but has its limitations with switched circuits that do not satisfy a "small ripple" condition. This work considers a more general averaging procedure that encompasses state-space averaging and is potentially applicable to a much broader class of circuits and systems. In particular, the technique is shown to be effective on a number of examples including resonant type converters.
