Resumen:
Subharmonic oscillation is widely studied in switching converters under current mode control (CMC). Its boundary of occurrence in the design parameter space is well known in the case of an infinite-bandwidth current sensor. However, in a practical implementation, either a limited-bandwidth current sensor or an additional filter is used. This could have an effect on the system dynamics particularly for relatively high switching frequencies. This paper discusses the effect of the additional dynamics due to the finite-bandwidth current sensor or the additional filter on the stability and subharmonic oscillation boundaries in switching converters under CMC. It is shown that a simplified model, taking into account the dynamics of the inductor current and the sensor/filter, is enough to obtain accurate results concerning the prediction of the occurrence of subharmonic instabilities in switched converters. Design-oriented equations describing the occurrence of subharmonic oscillations are used to show some problems related to the additional dynamics on the ramp compensator design in a single-switch dc-dc converter working in continuous conduction mode. Some proposed solutions are also discussed. Numerical simulations and experimental measurements corroborate the theoretical predictions. © 2016 IEEE.
