In the age of specialization for electronics engineers, it becomes very
difficult to maintain a level of competence within a broad range of electronics
fields. Nonetheless, many engineers will be assigned design
projects outside their primary field of expertise, among which are
switching power supplies. This is done priniarily because the engineer
has a unique ability to learn technical subjects relatively quickly. Unfortunately,
the literature available today on the subject of switching power
supplies tries to convey an understanding through lengthy derivations of
applied mathematics. This does not work since only an intuitive sense
of the subject matter creates an understanding of the fundamental
