You do need to make that thread. You’ve probably already realized this, but there is actually a lot to explain if you extensively cover only the application considerations of buck/boost/linear/direct, assuming you include things like zener modded 7135 and FET drivers. If we had a clear post describing the topologies I’d definitely refer people to it, but an explanation of the effect of zener or [currently non existant] vreg mods on the 7135 and FET drivers is really essential for a lot of the questions we run into. Take a look at my post #14 in HiTiT’s thread. There was still some confusion after that, which I thought was a decently clear explanation. And if you write to many words, we’ll never get people to read it. Definitely a double-edged sword.
