I'll repeat my last answer to a similar question. _______________________________ Old but useful - Philips semiconductors used to publish VERY extensive documentation on all types of switching power supplies. I haven't looked recently but I imagine these will be available somewhere on their site. There is lots of other stuff but try searching for - - "Transformer and choke design for forward-converter switched-mode power supplies". EAB 33 no 3 pages 125 to 147 - - "Switched mode power supply transformer design nomograms" EAB 33 no 3 - "Notes on SMPS transformer design nomograms" EAB 34 No 3 pp 123 - 136 Year unknown but rather old. I think EAB is "Electronic Application Bulletin". Russell McMahon -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
