Simulation and Analysis of Complex Behaviors in a DC-DC Buck Converter

A new study of the Buck converter controlled by a smooth signal -changing the widely used non-smooth ramp signal by a smooth sine signal- operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is carried out in this paper, focusing on the analysis of bifurcation diagrams of relevant parameters that govern the system. Unexpectedly and contrary to what one would intuitively contemplate, new phenomena or comp...
