Article-I.D.: tekmdp.1880 Posted: Thu Mar 31 18:26:46 1983 Received: Sat Apr 2 04:00:49 1983 In particular, I'd like information/experiences relating to: Synchronous rectifiers Switching optocouplers (tr and tf < 200ns) Line input power factor correction Driving 120vac fans from 220vac line Meeting VDE conducted emissions specs Different topologies and prejudices about them Theories describing loop response at or above the switching frequency Also, is the course that Cuk and Middlebrook give really worthwhile for someone who has been actively involved in switcher design for the last five years? What is it really like? Let's talk... Jeff Winslow
