Constrained Near-Time-Optimal Sliding-Mode Control of Boost Converters Based on Switched Affine Model Analysis

Time-optimal (TO) control of dc-dc converters, using switching surface controllers, has been investigated extensively in the literature. Studies show that such controllers are of a minimum-switching and bang-bang nature and have the fastest possible response time. However, this method has three drawbacks: First, the inductors' maximum current goes beyond practical limits. Second, due to a marginal status in existence condition of the switching...
