In this paper a new dynamic model of one-cycle-controlled converters operating either in continuous or in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is introduced. The static and dynamic behaviour is analysed by using sampled-data modelling combined with the small-signal linearization of the average model of the converter's power stage. The proposed model is valid for frequencies up to half the switching frequency and, while the other dynamic models presented in the literature cover continuous conduction mode only, it also gives an accurate prediction of the system's dynamic behaviour in the DCM. The model allows to determine the closed-form expression of the reference-to-output transfer function G(nu ref) of the system, which is a fundamental prerequisite for the design of a conventional output feedback control circuit aimed at improving the dynamic behaviour of the system in response to load variations.
In this paper it is also shown that one-cycle control does not work properly in switching converters operating in deep DCM if some specific design constraints are not fulfilled.
The theoretical predictions are confirmed by the results of suitable numerical simulations and laboratory experiments on a one-cycle-controlled buck-switching converter.
