Therefore, the application areas of buck converters in industrial and consumer electronics are increasing day by day. In this study, a simple and effective real-time controller for buck converters is designed and implemented. The study aims to performance the dynamic performance of the system and reduce energy losses by using the advantages of real-time control. One of the most important objectives is to reduce complex programming processes by using a model-based approach. With this model-based approach, easy changes of the system are provided with a fast intervention to the changes in the system. With the developed TMS320F28379D based real-time control approach, the stability and response time of the buck converter are tested. Simulations and experimental studies have shown that the proposed hardware and software architecture provides stable, fast and accurate results in the control of buck converters. As a consequence, this study aims to contribute to the field of power electronics by providing an effective, simple and accessible control mechanism that improves energy conversion processes. In addition, since the results obtained can be used as a reference in the design of similar systems, it is expected to be useful for both academic and industrial applications. When the voltage control of the buck converter is made for 2 Volts, the voltage change, and the duty cycle reach the desired steady state in 1.75*10-3 seconds. The results show that the proposed control structure provides a suitable and reliable solution for industrial applications. Future studies on energy efficiency and control systems will open the door to innovative designs in this field.}, number={1}, publisher={Cankiri Karatekin University}, organization={Çankırı Karatekin University}
