Active disturbance rejection control of single-inductor dual-output buck

To reduce cross-coupling effects and enhance the dynamic response of the Single-Inductor Dual-Output (SIDO) Buck converter, this paper introduces an active disturbance rejection control method based on a cascade extended state observer. It starts with establishing a small-signal model and deriving the transfer function of the SIDO Buck converter. Then, it designs self-disturbance decoupling controllers and series-connected state observers, followed by multi-objective optimization of controller parameters using the particle swarm algorithm. Finally, the control approach is compared with Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control through simulations on a MATLAB platform. The results demonstrate that the proposed controller effectively minimizes cross-coupling effects between the converter outputs and enhances disturbance rejection and robustness.
