Analysis and Comparison of Sliding Mode Controller for the Boost Driver in LED Headlamps

Abstract

In this paper, the performance of several sliding mode control strategies used for the boost driver in LED headlamps is analysed and compared. At first the topology, control framework, and mathematical model of the boost LED driver is presented. Based on the mathematical model, a traditional differential sliding mode control law, a terminal sliding mode control law with finite convergence time, and a 2nd-order sliding mode control law with the Super-Twisting algorithm are derived and designed. Finally the simulation models of these sliding mode control laws are built. Simulation results show that the terminal sliding mode control has a faster convergence speed than the traditional differential sliding mode control. And the 2nd-order sliding mode control has a fastest convergence speed and low chattering, but the control result has a certain overshoot.
