This reference provides a complete understanding of sliding mode control principles, its application to power converters, and the practical realization of such controllers. Bridging the gap between power electronics and control theory, it presents a detailed description of the various theories, operating principles, and information that are relevant to the state of the art and the current development of sliding mode controllers and their applications to power converters. The book also reviews traditional and modern implementation techniques of sliding mode control for power converters, covering pulse-width modulation as well as conventional hysteresis modulation.
