Abstract
The most important control methods are those that control the inductor current. In this chapter we shall discuss in detail how the choice of the inductor current as the controlled quantity provides considerable improvement in the dynamic properties of the elementary power cells and in the ease of stabilizing the feedback loop that controls the output voltage.
