This thesis encompasses control theory, mathematical models and practical methods for developing high performance control loops for compact DC-DC power converters. In this research we compare an existing hardware control loop design developed through traditional empirical tuning methods to a control loop established by a proposed systematic design approach. To address the many problems of ad-hoc controller design for DC-DC converters, we develop a procedure utilizing tools from frequency domain analysis and loop shaping techniques. This design approach is used to ensure control loop stability and to verify improved loop performance. This systematic control loop design procedure can be utilized …
