Evaluation Board is strongly recommended and will
dramatically reduce design, breadboarding, and debugging
time
. For information on specific subjects including PC design,
Drain Voltage Clamping, and Recommended Transformer
Inductance, find the appropriate section in the table of contents
on the next page. For problems encountered in working power
supplies, refer directly to the Troubleshooting Guide. For
technical questions not covered by any
TOPSwitch
literature, fill

Answers to All Common
TOPSwitch
Technical Questions
can be found in this application note, the
TOPSwitch
Data
Sheets, the
TOPSwitch
Design Notes, and the
TOPSwitch
reference design/evaluation board documentation. The fastest
path to
TOPSwitch
success is to
read the
TOPSwitch
data
sheets, AN-16 and this document carefully and completely
before beginning the design
. Detailed information on specific
application circuits can be found in the Application Notes,
