PRIMARY-SIDE VS. SECONDARY-SIDE REGULATIONFlyback power converters are currently some of the most common converter topologies around. This is due to the simplicity of their design and the competitive size/cost/efficiency ratio their can deliver, especially in the mid-level power range (2W to 100W). Like any converter topology, a flyback converter is composed of a power path and a control path. The power path is responsible for the conver...
