摘要

This part of the paper illustrates the use of the expression derived in Part I for predicting subharmonic oscillation in switching regulators. Six case studies with different control schemes from the recent literature are used to validate the novel approach and the new derived expression, which is benchmarked for these case studies against results obtained using the discrete-time modeling approach or Floquet theory combined with Filippov method. Numerical simulations from the circuit-level switched models, implemented in PSIM software, are used to demonstrate the correctness of the derived closed-form condition. A procedure is presented to apply the approach of the paper to power converters with nonlinear sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) arrays or fuel cells. Experimental measurements from a boost converter prototype for PV applications are also provided to validate the theoretical predictions and the numerical simulations showing a remarkable agreement.
