This paper deals with the implementation of a control algorithm based on a state controller with an adaptation of the state controller gains by using the fuzzy-logic approach. Adjustable state controller gains cause that the static error can be reduced arbitrarily for a system with variable parameters as is the DC-DC step-down converter for power supply systems. Fuzzy sets are tuned offline by a genetic algorithm using fuzzy-logic and a genetic toolbox in MATLAB. Fuzzification and defuzzification algorithms are implemented in real time within a Field Programmable Gate Array circuit. The whole control algorithm is performed within a sampling time of 5.33 µs. Operation of the controller is verified experimentally.
