Abstract
The digital voltage controller of power converters is used because it has many advantages over its analog counterparts. Thus, in this paper, a controller of digital voltage mode is designed and analyzed for a non-isolated DC-DC buck converter in continuous conduction mode (CCM). First, an analog controller is designed using a Bode plot to achieve the desired stability margins in the frequency domain. Next, the analog controller is discretized using bilinear transformation with the pre-warping method. The characteristics of the discretized compensator can be maintained close to the corresponding analog compensator as long as a proper sampling time is selected. The digital control scheme is simulated with a nonlinear DC-DC buck converter model in MATLAB/Simulink to investigate the controller performance. The simulation results demonstrated the validation of the proposed digital voltage-mode control design approach. The developed digital controller eliminates DC error by tracking the reference voltage, achieving a fast transient response, maintaining specified stability margins, and effectively rejecting large disturbances.
