How Much Experience Do You Have in Power Supply Design?
If you are new to power design, don't be shy about it - we all had to start at the beginning.
I remember my first day on the job in 1981. They handed a schematic to me and told me that's what I would be working on. I spent two days looking at it, trying to piece together the capacitors, diodes, magnetics and switches that made up a switching power supply. At the end of that, I went to my manager and asked for help. He told me it wasn't even a power supply at all, it was a power distribution unit with relays and timers. It was a humbling experience.
What was worse is that was in the days when the engineers drew the schematics in a logical way so that they actually made good sense, though obviously not to me in this case.
