Digital tracking control of the boost converter: prediction-based digital redesign approach

Abstract

Several continuous-time tracking controllers of the DC-to-DC boost converters had been addressed, but few literature touched the digital tracking control because that was a challenging theoretical problem which consists of nonlinear, non-minimum phase and saturated control. Given a continuous-time nonlinear boost converter with continuous tracking control, this paper proposes a new sampled-data feedback laws from the available analog counterpart via digital redesign such that the state trajectories of the sampled-data closed-loop systems close to the continuous-time one in the sense of state-matching. An existing boost converter circuit has been demonstrated to visualize the feasibility of the proposed methodology.
