Current-mode control for a quadratic boost converter with a single switch Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • In this paper, a methodology for controller design of a quadratic boost converter is given using average current-mode control. It is shown that the transfer function of the first inductor current-to-duty ratio is minimum phase; thus, this inductor current is selected for feedback purposes. For the inner loop, a current gain and a high gain compensator are selected where the corresponding sintonization procedure is given. For the outer loop, a conventional PI-controller is designed. The design-oriented analytic results allow the designer to easily pinpoint the control circuit parameters that optimize the converter%27s performance. At the end, experimental results are given for a 49 W switching regulator where step changes between 10%25 to full load are shown. ©2007 IEEE.
