In this paper, the dynamics of a DC-DC boost power converter under variable structure control is studied applying bifurcation analysis techniques. The switching hyperplane coefficients are considered as bifurcation parameters. The dynamic phenomena detected in this work suggest new types of sliding bifurcations. This analysis is relevant in the context of sliding mode control with auxiliary adaptive strategies, since bifurcation analysis is a suitable tool to investigate global stability.
