Flyback converters are the preferred topology in the SMPS (switched-mode power supply) for medium- and low-power range applications because they are simple and economic. They have less components and are efficient in isolating the output from input. They are used in battery-powered applications, universal AC/DC converters, and industrial and telecommunication equipment. Isolated converters traditionally regulate the output voltage and current by utilizing a secondary side regulation (SSR) composed of an optocoupler and secondary error amplifier.
