to be attached to a heatsink? Also, a guess at how much heatsinking is required
can be made.
This completes the black box estimates portion of the design program. As one
can see, some very useful information can be determined by performing these
estimates.
3.5 Design of the Magnetic Elements
The design of the magnetic elements forms the backbone of a good switching
power supply design. Their proper electrical and physical design have a large
affect on the reliable operation of every switching power supply design. Entire
books have been written devoted to their design and theory, but in keeping with
the premise behind this publication, I have chosen to ...
