The key characteristics of the sliding mode control (SMC) are the ability to manage unmodeled dynamics with rapid response and the inherent robustness of parametric differences, making it an appropriate choice for the control of power electronic converters. However, its drawback of changing switching frequency causes critical electro-magnetic compatibility and switching power loss issues. This paper addresses the problem by proposing a dynamic integral sliding mode control for power converters having fixed switching frequency. A special hardware test rig is developed and tested under unregulated 12.5-22.5 V input and 30 V output. The experimental findings indicate excellent controller efficiency under wide range of loads and uncertain input voltage conditions. In addition, the findings indicate that the closed-loop system is robust to sudden differences in load conditions. This technique provides an improvement of [Formula: see text]% in the rise time, [Formula: see text]% in the settling time and [Formula: see text]% in robustness of the controller as compared to conventional controllers. Furthermore, the comparison with the existing fixed-frequency sliding mode control techniques is presented in a tabular form.
