This paper proposes a current control method for discontinuous current mode (DCM) in order to achieve the same control performance as continuous current mode (CCM) in a boost converter. By utilizing the duty ratio at the previous calculation period to compensate for a DCM nonlinearity, the controller, which is designed for CCM, can also be used in DCM. In the frequency analysis, the cutoff frequency of the proposed DCM current control agrees exactly to the design value, which is 2 kHz, whereas the cutoff frequency of the conventional DCM current control results in high error of 47.5%. In the current step response experiment with a 360-W prototype and the switching frequency of 20 kHz, the experimental DCM current response almost agrees with the conventional CCM current response, which are 380-μs rise time for both CCM and DCM, 9% and 8% overshoot for CCM and DCM, respectively. Furthermore, the computation time of the proposed DCM current control is shorter 35% than the conventional DCM current control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
