flyback driver circuits organized by topology

overview of reasons for each topology

overview of DC/DC converter topologies

• half bridge
  • Berni @ 4hv — ignition coil, IGBT
  • conventional solid-state Teslas, and DRSSTCs — MOSFET or IGBT
• H-bridge / full bridge
  • "Thesis" — hand-wound coil, MOSFET, really fancy ultra-high-speed driver ICs, and consequent extreme focus on impedance and careful board layout
  • conventional solid-state Teslas, and DRSSTCs — MOSFET or IGBT
• ZVS half bridge
  • Vladmiro Mazilli's — flyback, IGBT
• ZVS full bridge
