Second-Order Sliding Mode Control for BUCK Converters

This paper presents a second-order sliding mode (SOSM) control method for DC-DC Buck converters. First of all, by taking a subtraction between the output voltage and the desired voltage, the sliding mode variable with freedom of degree two can be constructed. Secondly, by using adding a power integrator method, the second-order sliding mode controller can be developed for the Buck converter. Under the proposed controller, it can be shown that the output voltage will track the desired voltage in a finite time. Finally, the theoretical considerations have been verified by simulations.
