I design DC / DC converter, see Figure.
Power consumption ranges from 0.1 W (Sleep) 0.7 W (Run) over to 14W while the heating.
I can not decide how to deal with feedback.
The first option is through the Zener diodes on the primary, the second optocoupler and TL431 over the secondaries.
It seems to me that feedback through the zener primary, smaller and more reliable in the long term (tantalum and ceramic capacitors)
Feedback with optocoupler is probably more accurate, but is based more on a LED optocoupler will have a limited life.
Question
What kind of feedback do you recommend and why ?
