“…Each g-gyrator has a sliding-mode regulation loop, which consists of an analogue multiplier, a hysteretic comparator, and an operational amplifier-based linear circuit to induce a sliding regime in the BIF converter characterized by equation I 2i = g i V gi , where I 2i and V gi are, respectively, the dc values of output current and input voltage of gyrator i (i = 1, 2, 3), and g i is the gyrator conductance. The stability of the sliding regime is guaranteed by the damping series network R d C d connected in parallel with the input filter capacitor and by the damping paralleled network con- nected in series with the input filter inductor [7]. The r-gyrator, in turn, has a sliding-mode regulation loop with the same elements like the g-gyrator, thus yielding the output dc bus voltage given by V 2 = rI 2T , where r is the gyrator resistance.…”
