And guess what - it is usually not the FET that heats up - it is the transformer ... fried several of them and those smell VERY bad ;)


In my experience from watching more naiive colleagues, its always the transistor that blows ! - they assume that the inductor can't saturate: it does: current goes through the roof, because it has a very low resistance:poof - the magic leaks out.

Then they may learn more about inductor design.
