Modified projected cross point control — a small signal analysis

In this paper, the small-signal analysis of the modified projected cross point control (PCPC) method is investigated. Modified PCPC is a new current-mode control approach which benefits from several advantages over common current-mode control methods such as peak current-mode control (PCMC) and average current-mode control (ACMC). Followed by the small-signal analysis, different small-signal transfer functions for this method are obtained. To prove the significant superiority of the modified PCPC controller, the small-signal properties of this novel method are compared with those of the PCMC and ACMC approaches.
