    Abstract: A method of automatically tuning a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller (102) controlling a DC-DC converter (100) includes substituting the PID controller (102) with a modified relay feedback test (MRFT) (104) controller having a threshold parameter (β) and a magnitude parameter (h), iteratively determining a current error signal (e [k]) by measuring an output voltage (Vo[k]) of the DC-DC converter (100) and comparing it to a desired reference output voltage (Vo-ref), input the error signal (e[k]) to the MRFT (104), determining an output value (u[k]) of the MRFT, update the duty cycle (D) based on the output value (u[k]), operating the DC-DC converter (100) using the updated duty cycle (D), exciting oscillations in the loop containing the MRFT (104) and the DC-DC converter (100), measuring a frequency (Ω0) and amplitude (α0) of the output voltage (Vo[k]), updating PID controller parameters based on the frequency (Ω0) and amplitude (α0), and substituting the MRFT (104) with the PID controller (102).
