A switched implementation of average dynamic output feedback laws trough a Σ-∆-modulator, widely known in the classic communications and analog signal encoding literature, not only frees the sliding mode control approach from state measurements and the corresponding synthesis of sliding surfaces in the plant’s state space, but it also allows to effectively transfer all desired closed loop featu...

The control of the input voltage of DC-DC converters is frequently required in photovoltaic applications. In this special situation, unlike conventional converters, the output voltage is constant and the input voltage is controlled. This paper deals with the analysis and the control of the buck converter with constant output voltage and variable input.

An easy dc-dc boost converter is unable to give high step-up voltage gains due to the effect of power switches, rectifier diodes, and the equivalent series resistance of inductor and capacitors. In this paper proposes new dc-dc converter to achieve high voltage gain without an extremely high duty ratio. In the proposed converters, two inductors with the same level of inductance are charged in p...
