[sci.electronics] Switching power-supply question

bm@bike2work.Eng.Sun.COM (Bill(Francis) Michel) (03/21/91)

I have become interested in these low voltage halogen lighting
systems that have come on the market recently. I've also become
interested in (what I'm told are) the small, switching power supplies
that these lamps are accompanied by to convert the household
ac to the needed DC current without a *huge* transformer.

Being one who continues to fight the notion that there are some things
that you should just buy because it's not worth your time to try
to reinvent, I'd like to ask if anyone can point me in the direction
of schematics for such a power supply. The thing needs to 
supply a maximum of about 7 amps.

Thanks
