- Solution : Use proper input filtering, optimize transformer construction, and implement snubber circuits
Pitfall 3: Stability Problems
- Problem : Output oscillations or poor transient response
- Solution : Carefully design feedback network compensation and ensure proper loop stability margins
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
MOSFET Selection
- Must withstand peak voltage stresses (typically 600V minimum)
- Gate charge characteristics must match driver capability
- Package selection affects thermal performance and PCB layout
Transformer Design
- Core material selection critical for efficiency and temperature rise
