Abstract
This paper presents an intuitive graphical education platform which provides a more attractive way to introduce the buck converter. The education platform is developed by using GUI and simpowersystem toolbox of Matlab. Students can select various buck converter circuits arbitrarily, set parameters and complete corresponding models simulating without building their own graphic interface. The parameters setting, theoretical analysis, control modes and simulation results of the buck converter are provided on the education platform. The education platform is easy to use and is in accordance with the established standards, mouse operations, icon menus, etc. By extending the designed education platform is useful not only for conventional buck converters, but also for soft switching buck converters or other available control schemes, as well as other power electronic circuits.
