Sometimes its the question, not the answer.

How do you do a Monte Carlo yield analysis on nonlinear circuits with spice?
That would be a good course to take. One day I want to use spice to
simulating switch-mode circuits in the time domain. I have a feeling it will
require simulation in different modes. Where can I find a tutorial?

Having had to repair a seven transistor similar design, I would take the
no-brainer approach and run for da pill bottle - those darling 8-pin
switchmodes put out by NS and Linear, Maxim, et. with all those app notes
and recommended magnetics. I'm sure they make good money selling happy pills
to 'experts' who have proved their brilliance by designing expensive
abominations 8^)

Unless they sell hanger queens to the DOD. The predatory exploitation of
weakness and dependance 8^)
