There are several people here at Fluke who have designed switching
power supplies.  Most of the instruments that used these designs
are relatively low power and the reason that a switcher was chosen
was to give the instrument the ability to operate from dc power
sources, with large variation in input levels.
The concensus about C&M is that if the classes are like their books
then they are not worth the time and/or money.  You'd be better
off studying the books. If you want to mail anything to some of these
people you can use my address substituting for swifty:

		rdz  (Ray Zoellick)
		laup (Paul Chastain)
	    gallavan (Mike Gallavan)

	       lantz (Paul Lantz)

All these people are in my department and they can get you in contact
with others around Fluke.  Being power supply designers (analog types
they are not very familiar with the net so be patient when waiting
for their replies.
