Design and control techniques for a Single Input Dual Output (SIDO) Synchronous DC-DC Buck Converter are presented. The advantage of this converter eliminates one MOSFET switch and its drive circuitry when compared to the conventional converter and in this system both output voltages are generated by the same integrated power converter. A Genetic Algorithm assisted PI controller is designed to maintain the output voltages to a constant value against load and line variations and compared with existing PI controller. The parameters of the controller are designed using various techniques like SISOTOOL (GUI), Internal Model Control and Binary Genetic Algorithm. The Discrete PI controller is also developed for the above converter. All the controllers are simulated using MATLAB and their performances are compared in terms of Peak overshoot, Rise time and Settling time. The system is also developed using real components and the results are obtained in open loop mode.
