In this paper, a dc-dc boost converter with sliding mode control and washout filter is analysed. This device is modelled as a three-dimensional Filippov system, characterized by the existence of sliding movement and restricted to the switching manifold. The operating point of the boost converter is a pseudo-equilibrium, and it, undergoes a subcritical Hopf bifurcation. Such a bifurcation occurs in the sliding vector field and creates, in this field, an unstable limit cycle. The limit cycle is confined to the switching manifold and disappears when it touches the visible-invisible two-fold point, resulting in a homoclinic loop which itself closes in this two-fold point.
