Abstract

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.
