  Linear Technology's "Linear Applications Handbook 1987" has a long 
  app. note on switching power supply design. It's intended to be used
  with their LT1070 Switcher IC but most of the information is general
  in nature.

  Various sections in the app. note talk about:
	1. Basic Switching Regulator Topologies
	2. Frequency Compensation
	3. Driving External Transistors
	4. Selecting Output Diodes
  	5. Input Filters       
	6. Efficiency Calculations
	7. Output Filters
	8. Selecting Input and Output Capacitors
	9. Inductor and Transformer Basics
	10. Heatsinking Information
	11. Troubleshooting Hints

  Most of the information is very useful and practical and I recommend it.
