The present paper aims to develop a didactic module for power electronics lectures which provides flexible and easy-to-use operation. In the same module it is possible to experiment with two different topologies. The progress is based on the creation of an electronic board responsible for the control of the buck or boost converter. The advanced module is divided into two parts: control board and power board. The power board was developed to choose and operate one of the buck and boost converters by replacing respective jumpers on the power board. Each board can work individually, thus fully functioning in an integrated way. The use of didactic modules has become important in the teaching and learning of the subjects of power electronics subject.
