Key themes and takeaways

: Includes Buck efficiency loss teardown diagrams and active reset techniques for Flyback and Forward converters.

A common misconception is that a "bigger" core is always better. Maniktala highlights that core loss depends on frequency and flux swing (delta B).

: Covers the design of resonant (LLC) converters, including the author's simplified "top-down" methodology for wide-input resonant designs.

Power supply design has changed drastically. We are no longer in an era where "good enough" efficiency suffices. Modern electronics demand high power density, minimal thermal signatures, and ultra-low EMI.

If you are searching for specific versions or related materials, you may find them through these platforms:

: Practical methods for closing the loop using TL431 and various control modes, simplified for real-world application.
