This work investigated nine popular integration algorithms and simulated the DC-DC boost converters, with and without parasitic elements, operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM). The off-line simulations were performed under the Matlab environment. The methodology consisted of firstly, deriving the state-space model of the converter and then deriving its small-signal average model. The average models were then simulated with the equation solver approach of Matlab. The results from the nine different integration techniques were then compared to validate their accuracy and efficiency. It soon became obvious that the Runge-Kutta 4 th  order and Trapezoidal techniques could be considered as potential candidates for further work due to their speed, accuracy and stability in the implementation of real-time models in embedded hardware platforms. The best results were obtained with the Runge-Kutta 4 th  order and Trapezoidal techniques, and these techniques are recommended for the future investigations with the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) environment.
