Introduction
Nowadays, the dcdc converters have mostly used in many applications such as a power supply in electronic
systems. In the portable devices with the battery, the converter converts the input voltage to the proper output
voltagetouseitbytheelectronicload.Thebatteryvoltagecanvaryinawiderangedependingonachargelevel.
Atthelowchargelevel,itmaydropbelowtheloadvoltage.Thus,tocontinuesupplyingtheconstantloadvoltage,
the converter must be able to work in both stepup and stepdown modes. In this paper, the Zeta converter is
chosentoinvestigate.Zetaconverterisaforthorderdcdcconverterwhichiscapableofbuckingorboostingthe
inputvoltage.Inordertoprovideaninsideviewoftheconvertersaction,andobtaintheneededinformationfor
controllerdesign,modellingplaysanimportantrole[1].
Modellingdcdcconvertersisaneffectivewaytogetopenloopfrequencyresponseandinvestigatethestabilityof
the closedloop systems. Modelling is the first stage for designing compensator or controller circuits. Previous
workspresentdifferentmodelsfordcdcconverters[2].Consideringthatthepowerelectronicconvertersinclude
nonlinearelementslikeswitchesanddiodes,thenmodellingofthemneedslinearization.So,applyingaveraging
and linearization techniques has a special importance. After linearization, the inside model of the system is
extractableandthereforeinvestigatingthefrequencyresponsewillbepossible[35].Modellingdcdcconvertersby
using small signal linearization and averaging techniques cause complexity in the obtained equations. Solving
these equations for basic converters like; buck, boost and buckboost is not a problem, but for high order
converters,dealingwiththemwillbemoredifficult[6].In[78],inordertoderiveamathematicalmodelofadc
dcconverterandstudythetransientstatesofit,acombinationofLaplaceandZtransformshasbeenemployed.A
converterincludingswitchesisanonlinearsystem,butitcanbedecomposedtotwolinearcircuits;oneforonstate
and the other for offstate of the switch. These two linear circuits are illustrated by means of two signal flow
graphs.Compositionoftwosubgraphsbyusingswitchingbranchesreachestothegraphofthewholeconverter.
Switching branches are the only nonlinear parts of the converters. Thus modelling process is limited to the
switching branches. In [9 12], a signal flow graph method has been presented for modelling a dcdc converter,
then by using Masons gain formula any desired transfer function of the system might be extracted and used to
design any proper controller, but the presented graph method gets a sophisticated process to achieve the small

signal model. The proposed technique in this paper, gives greatly simplified mathematical and graphical
representationofthesystemandisbasedonsignalflowgraphoftheconverter.Thismethodhasgreatadvantage

aim of this paper is to derive the model of the Zeta converter by using the proposed signal flow graph based
method. The openloop system has some disadvantages. For example, the output cannot be compensated or

differenttools.Oneofthesetoolsisfrequencydomainanalysis[1415].Inordertogetfrequencyresponseofthe
converters,aftermodellingtherootlocusplotsandthefrequencydomainresponseinformofBodemagnitudeand

Here, the openloop performance characteristics of the converterare tested. The starting point is the extractinga

The state equations are extracted by using kirchhoffs voltage and current laws for the two cases of on and off
states of the switch. These equations are calculated in loops and nodes with just one passive element, so all
obtained equations are first order ones. One of the advantages of this method is in high order circuits, with
