Exact linearization in switched-mode DC-to-DC power converters

Abstract
Three popular DC-to-DC switched mode power converters—Buck, Boost, and Buck-Boost—are shown to be in the same orbit of structural equivalence as a second-order controllable circuit in Brunovsky canonical form. The equivalence is achievable under non-linear feedback and explicit local difleomorphic state coordinate transformations. The implications of local exact linearizability of this class of systems in the design of Variable Structure Feedback Control laws or Pulse-Width-Modulation strategies is thoroughly discussed.
