A switching differentiator that can estimate the 1st-order time-derivative of a time-varying signal was proposed, and it is extended later to the higher-order switching differentiator(HOSD) that can observe higher-order time-derivatives of a time-varying signal in previous works. By using HOSD, higher-order time-derivatives can be estimated without peaking or chattering, and it has an asymptotic tracking performance. However, there exist many design constants to be determined in HOSD. In this paper, a method of reducing the number of design constants is proposed to solve the problem. Simulations reveal the effectiveness of the proposed method.
