Provides a valuable reference to the field of nonlinear dynamical behavior and bifurcation analysis and control of switch-mode power supplies. Shows limitations of existing models for predicting chaotic instabilities in switching power converters; Describes a new approach to predict  instabilities from a simple, ripple-based index, showing the effect of different converter parameters on stability boundaries; Provides a design-oriented  model able to predict concurrently both slow-scale and fast-scale instabilities; Enables readers to understand the causes of chaos and design new chaos controllers for switching power converters UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-2128-3 ER -
