Abstract
This paper presents a study of the existence conditions of limit cycles and mechanisms when losing their stability in an open-loop DC–DC boost converter loaded with a constant power load and operating in discontinuous conduction mode. First, the existence conditions are determined. Then, boundaries associated with different kinds of instabilities such as the classical smooth fold and period-doubling bifurcations and nonsmooth border-collision bifurcations such as fold border-collision bifurcations are elucidated. To perform the stability analysis, an implicit 1D map for the system is derived. From this model, it is obtained that smooth period-doubling and fold bifurcations may occur at certain values of the circuit parameters. Some results from numerical simulations performed on the circuit-based switched model are provided showing consistency with the theoretical analysis from the derived model.
