A learning methodology oriented towards flyback converter design

The flyback converter is one of the most used topologies, in domestic and industrial environments. The topology combines simplicity and low cost as winning factors. It is also a circuit of a switch-mode power supply (SMPS) adequate for students to learn how to design the power and control stages. A methodology oriented to teach and learn is described in this paper, oriented to the flexibility of access to laboratory and full comprehension of the converter behavior.
