“…In the current literature regarding control techniques applied for second-order DC-DC converters for output voltage regulation, the following can be found: sliding-mode controllers [11,12], fractional-order sliding mode control [13], nonlinear high-gain observerbased second-order sliding mode control [14], observer-based higher-order sliding mode control [15], backstepping control designs [16,17], exact feedback linearization methods [18,19], adaptive control strategies [20], passivity-based control designs [7,21], and linear methods such as PI or feedback designs [22], among others. The passivity-based controller has already been implemented for these types of converters; however, its analysis has been carried out separately, not allowing a generalized control law design.…”
