Integral global fast terminal sliding mode control for LLC converters

Abstract

Abstract The complex characteristics of full-bridge LLC converters and PFM mode of operation result in a variety of operating modes and characteristic changes at different operating frequencies, thus increasing the difficulties in small signal characteristic analysis and good compensator design. In terms of control strategy, the traditional linear controller has limited response performance under various operating conditions such as input voltage ripple perturbation, input voltage mutation, and load mutation. To obtain greater transient response performance, stronger disturbance capability, and higher input stability of the system under different operating conditions, this paper proposes a new integral global sliding mode control law for LLC converters. In contrast to conventional control methods, the proposed control strategy exhibits enhanced dynamic response capabilities in the presence of load variations. It effectively mitigates jitter issues during steady-state operation, demonstrating a superior control performance.
