In this study, an adaptive non-linear controller is designed for DC-DC buck/boost converter which is robust and stable against converter load changes, input voltage variations and parameter uncertainties. The proposed controller is developed based on input-output linearisation using an adaptive backstepping approach. The controller can be applied in both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes (CCM and DCM). Owing to non-minimum phase nature of buck/boost converter, the output voltage of this converter is indirectly controlled by tracking the inductor reference current. The inductor reference current is generated by a conventional PI controller. Using a MATLAB/Simulink toolbox and a stand-alone TMS320F2810 digital signal processor from Texas Instruments, some simulations and practical results are presented to verify the capability and effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
