This paper peruses the voltage control of a boost DC-DC converter. The hybrid model of the converter is utilized to introduce a new switching control law, which regulates the output voltage of the converter. In this switching control law an average dwell time constraint is considered. This suggestion guarantees the exponential stability of a desired output voltage value. Furthermore, in the proposed switching control law, there exist no Zeno solutions, since the existence of the average dwell time constraint. Moreover, in power converters, two significant concerns are switching loss and electromagnetic interference resulting from numerous rates of variations of voltage and current. Therefore, the salient features of the proposed controller are the mitigation of the switching rate as well as the regulation of the output voltage. Finally, simulation experiments are followed through on a boost converter to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy.
