builds up in the primary winding
Secondary winding has the opposite polarity D1
OFF
C maintains the output voltage, supplies load
current
Mode 2 Operation -- Q1 turned OFF
Polarity
of the windings reverses
Diode D1 conducts, charging C and providing
current to the load RL
Secondary current falls to 0 before the next
cycle begins
