I was confused by the polarity of the output capacitor in the schematic of the flyback DC-DC converter. Positive seems to go to negative. I reviewed some online sources and other printed sources that I have and I believe the capacitor orientation is correct, however the common ground/positive output are opposite from the input. i.e. flipped. |

I apologize for this one, it really feels like a nit-pick. But I have the hardest time understanding coil windings. It seems to me that the left side of the horse-shoe electromagnet has a top rotation that does not match the bottom output (unless a serious bend in the wire is hidden behind the post, Escher comes to mind). |

There is already an errata for the line in question, but I think a continuation is in order. UJT appears to have been correctly changed to PUT (in the edition that I have). But my edition still references 'base 1' in the same line, for a PUT I believe that should be cathode. |
