Re: Switched Mode Power Supplies
I'd recommend starting 'really simple' - so that you don't get disheartened if any of your own inputs throw up a hurdle to jump (transformer or inductor, or control circuitry, or wiring, or scope probing techniques ...).
Perhaps also buy a cheap small ebay pcb dc/dc or dc/ac 50-150W module to assess and probe. I've reverse engineered a few recently - they often have something like a 494.
Unless you are good at pcb layout/production and savvy with noise and high current paths, then that can be a newb heartache to wonder where scope glitches and erratic control behaviour and low efficiency is coming from.
Oh, and I hope you're keen!
