Stability Analysis of Dc-Dc Buck Converters

Abstract

This paper is focusing on the stability analysis of the voltage mode control buck converter controlled by pulse-width modulation (PWM). Using two different approaches, the nonlinear phenomena are investigated in two terms, slow scale and fast scale bifurcation. A complete design-oriented approach for studying the stability of dc-dc power converters and its bifurcation has been introduced. The voltage waveforms and attractors obtained from the circuit simulation have been studied. With the onset of instability, the phenomenon of subharmonics oscillations, quasi-periodicity, bifurcations, and chaos have been observed
