|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flyback | 0–250 | 1.0 | 5–600 | Mutual Inductors | Isolated form of the buck-boost converter. |
| Ringing choke converter (RCC) | 0–150 | 1.0 | 5–600 | Transformer | Low-cost self-oscillating flyback variant. |
| Half-forward | 0–250 | 1.2 | 5–500 | Inductor |  |
| Forward | 100-200 |  | 60–200 | Inductor | Isolated form of buck converter |
| Resonant forward | 0–60 | 1.0 | 60–400 | Inductor and capacitor | Single rail input, unregulated output, high efficiency, low EMI. |
