Design of Sliding Mode Control for BUCK Converter

Kruti. R.Joshi, Hardik V.Kannad

The main objective of this paper is to design a SM Controller for a buck converter to convert a dc input voltage to the required lower dc output voltage level for lower power application to solve the problem of voltage regulation and high power loss of the linear voltage regulator circuit. The converter uses a switching scheme which operates the switch MOSFET in cutoff and saturation region to reduce power loss across MOSFET. Then, the output voltage is controlled using SM Control technique to get the desired output voltage level. The design is based on low power application such as laptop charger, mobile charger etc. The circuit is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software to obtain desired response.The SM control is a type of nonlinear control introduced initially as a means for controlling variable structure systems. The main advantage of the SM control over other types of nonlinear control methods is its ease of implementation. This makes it well suited for common DC–DC power regulation purposes. The SM control is naturally well suited for the control of variable structure systems. Characterized by switching, power converters are inherently variable structure systems. It is therefore; appropriate to apply SM control on power converters.
