It's patent number 6343021 Or see:
I still consider myself a newbie at smps design but doesn't this look like a 'neat' looking topology?
Claims: Neat unity power factor. Simpler circuitry Substantially lower cost Higher efficiency Longer operation life Truly integrated magnetics Highest energy density Isolated output Steps or steps down No RHP zero No DC through magnetics (If I read right) No large electrolytics on input or output Minimizes EMI through use of sinusoidal waveforms

Gee...it's like the dream supply.. :P
Driving the mosfet in the bridge looks like a pita. I believe that's going to need a floating power supply.
I'm all dazzled by this design. I want to pop this sucker into LTspice and take it for a test drive.
Comments on this design..??
Or any bad jokes...
Yup... I grew up with the Beatles.. . . . . . . ....and the cockroaches, ants and termites... It was a bug infested house. :P
