“…According to (1), this current is given by (12) Therefore, provided that the buck converter has reached its corresponding steady-state sliding motion, the steady-state boost output current can be written as (13) On the other hand, from (1), the following relation can be easily deduced assuming that the converter has reached the steady state: (14) If is a constant value, then, will be unbounded and the system will become unstable [21]. As a consequence, for the case of a design requiring , two main constraints affecting the boost output voltage can be highlighted from the previous steady-state analysis, namely, the following.…”
