title = "Autotuning of DC-DC Buck Converters using the Modified Relay-Feedback Test",
abstract = "This paper presents an autotuning technique for the class of digitally-controlled PID voltage-mode dc-dc buck converters, based on the modified relay feedback test (MRFT). The autotuning is consists of short and simple test and tuning stages, where the tuning is done using tuning rules that are derived offline, once only, for a given class of plant dynamics. A major advantage of the presented autotuning is that it allows for the specification of the gain or phase margin. This paper includes a review of selected autotuning techniques for dc-dc buck converters and a background on autotuning using the MRFT. An explanation of how the test stage of the MRFT tuning method is adapted to switching dc-dc power converters is provided, as well as a detailed procedure for the derivation of tuning rules that provide near-optimal dynamic performance for the class of dc-dc buck converters. Experimental results are provided which show good dynamic performance of the autotuned controller as compared to a controller that is optimized using full knowledge of the parameters of the test converter.",
