Well that makes sense as I knew that fact, just never saw that acronym
before. BTW, I took a course on switching power supplies from Dr.
Slobodan Cuk in California. He owns a company called TESLAco in Irvine,
CA. He is a staunch Tesla fan as he is a refugee born in the same town
as Tesla. he was not particularly interested in coiling, though.
Just some useless trivia.
