This paper addresses the training of an artificial intelligence (AI) to control the transistor state of a buck converter the most efficient way. For this purpose, a buck converter simulation script was implemented in python. Afterwards, a reinforcement learning agent was trained to provide the optimal duty cycle for the PWM. The trained agent was then tested in the python environment.
