A new method to control the Buck converter using new small signal model of the pulse width modulation (PWM) switch is introduced. The new method uses recurrent supervised neural network to estimate certain parameters of the transformed system matrix [ A~ ]. Then, linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization is used to obtain the permutation matrix [P] so that system transformation {[ B~ ], [ C~ ...

This paper presents the optimal controller design of buck converters.

Due to increasing concerns on the power quality, power factor correction (PFC) has become an important issue in light-emitting diode (LED) lighting applications. A boost converter is one of the most well-known PFC topologies, due to its simple circuitry, simple control scheme and small number of passive components. Even though a boost converter is recognized as a typical PFC converter, its outp...
