Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

 A unified method  based on the use of a simplified generalized approach for designing the two basic types of serial resonant DC-DC converters is preseted. This method It is characterized by the fact it is assumed that the converter operates in resonance.The use of this quasi- boundary method significantly accelerates and facilitates the design of the considered power circuits, which is useful for the purposes of engineering practice, as well as in the training of power electronics. The applicability of this approach is proven by the methods of mathematical modeling and computer simulations.

1 Table 1 and table 2 show comparisons between the design data and the results obtained with Matlab / Simulink and LTspice, is it necessary to compare and analyze with the actual test data?

To Reviewer 1:

            Thank you very much for your review and valuable remarks.

 

- Table 1 and table 2 show comparisons between the design data and the results obtained with Matlab / Simulink and LTspice, is it necessary to compare and analyze with the actual test data?

- I completely agree with your comment. Experimental data are not included in the manuscript, as the modeling and related software products have been refined and verified as a result of their development over the years. In this regard, there is no reason to doubt the reliability of the results obtained. For this reason, the comparison was made on the basis of two completely different conceptual software products.

 - Review the spelling and the grammar mistakes.

Update the bibliography.

- The manuscript is mainly edited. The introduction section has been revised and new literature-related sources have been added.

Reviewer 3 Report

  • What other advantages does the method of document design have compared with the traditional classical method? Is it possible to add more detailed comparison? It is suggested to add more comparisons with other methods or existing methods, and further explore and discuss the simulation results according to the theory.
  • Please check whether the word "by the method. Of the Smallest square" in section 8, line 364 is added with a full stop.
  • Note the typography of images and tables, figures 1 and 3, and Tables 1 and 2.

- The manuscript is mainly edited. The introduction section has been redesigned and comparisons have been made with more methods. In addition, new related literature sources have been added. A paragraph related to the advantages of the new method has been added in the conclusion section.

 Please check whether the word "by the method. Of the Smallest square" in section 8, line 364 is added with a full stop.

- Thank you very much for the careful review. A technical error has occurred. In the new version of the manuscript, the point is removed.

 Note the typography of images and tables, figures 1 and 3, and Tables 1 and 2.

- The tables and figures have been reviewed again.
