    Flyback Transformer Driver

    The zener diode array on that schematic is a very lossy way to achive snubbing of the turn-off transient. I suggest tying a sunbber from the MOSFET drain to the power rail...diode (anode at the mosfet) to an R&C in parallel.

    mV ripple on a HIGH voltage power supply

    This may be far off-topic but, I had a HV circuit design once to drive a TWT (traveling wave tube). The output had to have extremely small ripple. The switching power supply could not achieve this due to the small HV cap value so, I put a small linear regulator on top (reference to rtn via a...

    Trying to get my head around SMPS compensation - stability problem

    It's not the Spice speed. The sampling rate is your 100kHz switching frequency and so the Nyquist frequency is that same 100kHz. I came into power electronics design long ago from a control-theory background and started putting this effect into all my bode plots. On spice phase plots I always...

    Trying to get my head around SMPS compensation - stability problem

    You need to account for the effective phase shift due to the sampling frequency. This is = to 180deg*F/100kHz. The linear analysis will not show this effect. Look at the last plot for example. Cross over is at ~30khz so there is another 54deg phase shift you need to sketch in. What seems to be...
