This paper explores pole placement techniques for the 4th order C1 DC-to-DC Buck converter focusing on optimizing various performance metrics. Refinements were made to existing ITAE (Integral of Time-weighted Absolute Error) polynomials. Additionally, metrics such as IAE (Integral Absolute Error), ISE (Integral of Square Error), ITSE (Integral of Time Squared Error), a MaxMin metric as well as LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator) were evaluated. PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) was employed for metric optimization. Time domain response to a step disturbance input was evaluated. The design which optimized the ISE metric proved to be the best performing, followed by IAE and MaxMin (with equivalent results) and then LQR.
