Actually, you can consider a periodical input, with n square wave cycles
and m cycles with zero input, with a period of n+m cycles, decompose
the waveform in a Fourier series, use sinusoidal steady state analysis
for each component, and add the results in the time domain. This will
compute the waveforms correctly, with the transients.
A problem is the interpretation of the input voltage. We already discussed
about short-circuiting the input not being a great idea, because this
increases the input current. To let the diodes of the driver conduct
produces a square wave as long as there is current, but the square
wave is synchronized with the current, and there is no to include
feedback on this analysis.
