Considering their high order, several state variables are accessible for feedback purposes in the control of such systems. Therefore, choosing the best state variables is essential since they influence the system\u2019s dynamic response and stability. This work proposes a methodical method to identify the appropriate state variables in implementing a sliding-mode (SM) controlled hybrid boost converter. A thorough comparison of two SM controllers based on various feedback currents is conducted. The frequency response technique is used to demonstrate how the SM method employing the current through the output inductor leads to an unstable response. The right-half s-plane poles and zeroes in the converter\u2019s inner-loop transfer function, which precisely cancel one another, are what is causing the instability. On the other hand, a stable system may result from employing a SM controller with the current through the input inductor. Lastly, some experimental outcomes using the preferred SM control method are provided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info14080443","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,7]],"date-time":"2023-08-07T06:38:48Z","timestamp":1691390328000},"page":"443","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Design and Selection of Inductor Current Feedback for the Sliding-Mode Controlled Hybrid Boost Converter"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Satyajit","family":"Chincholkar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, School of E&TC Engineering, MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi, Pune 412105, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5162-7626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohd","family":"Tariq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, ZHCET, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh 202002, India"}]},{"given":"Maha","family":"Abdelhaq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Technology, College of Computer and Information Sciences, Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University, P.O.
