I&amp;#39;m going to read it once i&amp;#39;m done with mine, but at a quick glance, I noticed what is likely a typing error:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;span&gt;When designing a flyback transformer, one critical consideration is the mode of operation:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Continuous Mode (CCM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discontinuous Mode (DCM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;. In CCM, energy is fully transferred to the secondary winding before the transistor is turned back on, while in DCM, the transistor is turned on before the energy is fully depleted.&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It is in DCM that all the stored energy is transferred to the secondary. This is why it is discontinuous, no more energy left to transfer before the switch turns back on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This final entry is looking good!&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;[emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27482&amp;AppID=432&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
