Quasi-periodic route to chaos is a common feature in DC-DC switching converters like the Boost and the Buck-Boost. A periodic orbit bifurcates into a T2 torus through a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation, and then, quasi-periodic behaviour is obtained. Further changes in the parameters may breakdown such torus resulting in chaotic behaviour. Analytical expressions are deduced for the stability character of the orbits, although numerical simulations and experimental measurements are also provided to reinforce the theory.
