Abstract :
In this communication, we present a new integrated controller that is based on Fuzzy logic and is suitable for step-up DC/DC converters. Based on the current-mode approach, it is made up of some building blocks available in the literature that let the circuit be integrated totally. Exploiting its intrinsic non-linear characteristic, the controller is able to maintain the regulator output voltage in a given range of error even if wide variations of either the load or the input power supply occur
