Teaching the power supplies design - like other fields of electronic- is not always easy : There is classically theoretical courses and practical lessons. The link between the two is often the most important difficultie that appears for the students. Despite a abundant litterature on switching power supplies, a global and simple analysis are rarely found. In order to improve the efficiency of our teaching, we present here a practical and pedagogical approach (including magnetic, pratical electronic considerations, design method and flowchart) for understanding and designing classical switching power supplies. It looks like a progressive linear guide from the most simple to the most difficult. A fly back topology is used to illustrate our approach.
