Thank you very much for your help. The link you put also looks very very helpful. The name of the course is Electronic Circuits I
That specific name doesn't mean much.
Could you post the syllabus of the course .

Thank you for your help. However, we have not covered anything like oscillators or flip flops in class. Its not in our syllabus for the semester.
Diodes and Diodes ApplicationsThat specific name doesn't mean much.
Could you post the syllabus of the course .
Are you limited to material covered in the classroom?
1) BJT and MosFETs as Switches: Its been mentioned but not in depth.Did the course cover BJTs and MosFETs as switches?
Have you covered Schottkey diodes?
What about about op. Amps?
Edit: What about differential Amplifiers ?
YeahWhat about zener- diodes ?
Yeah it sucks. I wish I had a choice.I have been in electronics for 50 years and I would not know where to start with a switch-mode design.
Even a practical circuit would take weeks to design, build and test and modify.
That's the IGNORANCE of most teachers.
I sent letters to 2,300 IT teachers in Australia with a set of kits and projects. I got 19 replies 18 months.
I asked WHY?
Because we haven't a clue how to fix a project if it doesn't work.
This is the sort of thing I am thinking of. This is how your block diagram should look. This is an example only and your blocks may differ and some blocks you may not implement on your design.

Thank you. Do you think a flyback converter can be used here instead of a buck converter?Hello, The ESR of a capacitor will be in the data sheet for the capacitor you choose. A buck convertor is only regulated if it has feedback into the control circuit so the PWM can change to allow for different load currents.

I think I'll go with designing a forward converter.. I have been looking for some help online on how to go about it but everything seems to be going way over my head. Do you have any recommended tutorials?Flyback convertors are a buck boost, do you need that? Also they have isolation from the transformer, I guess you will need this with your design. So you decide. If you don't need boost then go for a forward converter.
