SMPS design is always a difficult task for most beginners even to many intermediate engineers based on the fact that the principle and the rules looks tedious. Flyback approach is always a very good concept when you needed a current not above KW but you can still use flyback approach to achieve a higher power rating if you can interconnect them together or follow some set rules. While I was getting my hands dirty, experimenting smps flyback approach I burnt a lot of IC and power transistors and other components before i was able to understand the principle revolving around it. SMPS design both buck converter, boost converter, buck-boost converter, push-pull, half-bridge and full bridge are not a difficult task but they need a very huge attention else nothing will work and debt may set in. Will be pointing out some rudiment behind SMPS design. Namely on buck converter using flyback approach: * TRANSFORMER SELECTION: Flyback uses a gapped ferrite core or gapped core, the core can be
