Design and implementation of sliding mode voltage controller for DC to DC buck converter by using hysteresis modulation and pulse width modulation

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of sliding mode control law to the output voltage control of DC to DC buck converter. The robustness of the sliding mode controller is tested by changing the different circuit components and comparing the results with conventional linear controller. The result shows that the sliding mode controller performs better in the transient condition over a wide range of operation when compared with linear controller. Sliding mode controllers by using hysteresis modulation and pulse width modulation are implemented in MATLAB/simulink. The disadvantages of sliding mode controller by using hysteresis modulation is overcome by using pulse width modulation. � 2016 IEEE.
