Abstract: This paper presents different aspects involved in the application of fixed frequency Sliding Mode Control (SMC) to
the DC-DC Single-Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC). The choice and influence of the sliding surface regarding the
state vector are presented. Simulation results show that a sliding surface composed of the single integral of systems state
variables gives steady-state errors whereas the insertion of double integral of state variables stabilizes and improves the
converters performance. Experimental validation is also provided.
Key Words: SEPIC Converters, Sliding Mode Control, Nonlinear Controller, Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), Double-integral
Sliding Mode.
