Hyper-plane sliding mode control of the DC–DC buck/boost converter in continuous and discontinuous conduction modes of operation

In this study, a new proportional–integral-type hyper-plane sliding mode controller has been designed for output voltage control of the DC–DC buck/boost converter for its continuous and discontinuous conduction modes of operating conditions. The proposed controller is robust and stable against parameters uncertainties, load disturbance and variations of the converter input voltage. In addition, it is capable of cancelling the non-minimum phase nature effect of the converter so that the designed controller does not need to know the inductor reference current. Moreover, the coefficients of the controller have been designed so that the steady-state error of the converter asymptotically converges to zero. The controller is designed based on fixed-frequency equivalent control approach. Using MATLAB/SIMULINK toolbox and digital signal processor (TMS320F2810) from Texas Instruments, some simulation and practical results are presented to verify the capability and effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
