The boost converter circuit board.

For the sake of simplicity and avoiding a non-convergence nightmare, the ground for this subcircuit is the perfect simulation ground (node 0). Some realism is sacrificed for this, of course, because the copper foil used as a ground plane in the actual circuit has non-zero impedance and that lumps of that impedance are present between leads of components ostensibly connected to "ground."

Instance Variable	thermal	A dict containing entries that define some temperatures, all in degrees C: 'ambient'; 'tca0-mosfet' (initital MOSFET case temp); 'tca0-diode' (initital diode case temp).
Instance Variable	ti	The time you should set aside for my initialization of MOSFET and diode case temperatures at the beginning of your TRAN simulation. (Read-only.)
Method	setup	Sets up the circuit for the boost converter.

Inherited from NodeStuff (via Subcircuit):

Instance Variable	shunts	A dict of current sensing V elements with the pairs of nodes they connect.
Class Variable	debug	A `Bag` that gets set `True` for all instances to log info about each `setup` call.
Class Method	autoName	Undocumented
Method	setupResults	Undocumented
Method	fill	Undocumented
Method	nodeCheck	Call with the circuit building tool f and a sequence of nodes provided to this `Include` or `Subcircuit`.
Method	rawNetlist	Get lines of a raw netlist from a search hierarchy of possible sources.
Method	shunt	Call to insert a current-measuring shunt and add an entry to my `Elements` baton's dict of shunts.
Method	raw	See `Elements.raw`.
Method	iNode	See `Elements.iNode`.
Method	ground	See `Elements.ground`.
Method	sca	See `Elements.sca`.
Method	sca6	See `Elements.sca6`.
Class Method	_libDir	Undocumented
Method	_strippedLines	Undocumented
Method	_call_setup	Calls my `setup` method (almost always your override of that method, actually) and processes any return value.
