Small-signal analysis of DC-DC converters with sliding mode control

This paper deals with small-signal analysis of DC-D converters with sliding mode control. A suitable small signal model is developed which allows selection of control coefficients, analysis of parameter variation effects, characterization of the closed loop behavior in terms of audiosusceptibility, output and input impedances, and reference to output transfer function. Unlike previous analyses, the model includes effects of the filters used to evaluate state variable errors. Simulated and experimental results demonstrate model potentialities
