I'm implementing a buck boost converter. I need a variabe duty cycle with constant frequency of 200kHz(without using a ardino board in which I suppose I would have to upload a program everytime to get a new duty cycle ) to drive the igbt. I was thinking if using a opm comparator with one input as Vref with a potentiometer to get variable duty cycle and another input as a constant frequency sawtooth wave from microcontroller . But can i give such high frequency wave to opm in the first place n get a decent pwm signal? Isnt there another way ?

\$\begingroup\$ As suggested by @laptop2d draw your circuit. If you tell us your input and output requirements we can probably suggest a suitable control IC, Linear Tech make quite a good range. \$\endgroup\$– Warren HillMar 24, 2017 at 11:36

You can always buy an off the shelf solution such as the LTC6992: -
Inside the chip is pretty much what you have described for what you believe is necessary for building one.
