manufacturer needs the following information:
Core part number and gapped effective inductance A
LG
Bobbin part number
Wire gauge and insulation style on all windings
Safety or Electric strength and Creepage distance
specifications
Primary Inductance L
Number of turns (N
, N
S
, N
B
, etc.) for each winding
Bobbin pin connections
Winding layer placement and winding instructions
Temperature class of operation (class A is 105 
°
C, class B
is 130 
°
C, etc.)
Spreadsheet Improvements
The order of the spreadsheet has been changed to simplify the iteration
process.  Reflected voltage V
 and ripple to peak current ratio K
 are
now independent variables which make peak current Ip and duty cycle
D
 dependent variables. Loss allocation factor Z is introduced to
distinguish between power losses occurring before energy is stored in
the transformer (primary losses) and power losses occurring after
energy is released from the transformer (secondary losses).  Primary
inductance L
 is now calculated from output power P
, K
, efficiency
η
, and loss allocation factor Z.  The spreadsheet now takes into account
primary magnet wire insulation thickness as well as the discrete steps
of standard AWG wire sizes.  Metric dimensions are used throughout
(with the exception of Circular mils for wire cross sectional area).
Drain Voltage V
 now includes an estimate for the effect of leakage
inductance induced voltage spikes on typical primary clamp circuits.
