Abstract: This paper provides a modeling approach for average current control (ACC) operating in open-loop configuration. The converters chosen are non-ideal boost and synchronous boost converters operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM). Initially, these converters are mathematically modeled considering all the non-idealities using volt-sec and amp-sec balance equations and simulated using MATLAB and Simulink. The open-loop transfer function of the switch current or inductor current (G id ) to the duty ratio is derived using the state space averaging (SSA) technique and analyzed using MATLAB/Simulink. It is observed that the G id of the converters is highly stable in open loop. A larger magnitude resonance is observed in ideal boost and synchronous boost converters than the non-ideal converters. However, the low frequency gain and the crossover frequency remained the same. With the increase in the load resistance, higher resonance and lower low frequency gain is observed in non-ideal boost and non-ideal boost synchronous boost converters. The derived transfer function is validated against the standard switch model using LTSpice software.
