As a first approximation, aim at L1*C1=(L2+L3)*C3. L1, L2, and L3
are the three inductances or the primary, secondary, and third
coils, C1 is the primary capacitance, and C3 the sum of the self-
capacitance of the third coil and the terminal capacitance.

Voutmax = VC3max < VC1max*sqrt(C1/C3), by energy conservation.
