Fellow boost supply designer here. The problem I always had with flyback is that you can't get an off-the-shelf transformer. How would you solve that? Wind your own?

I really like coilcraft, which isn't stocked at DigiKey so you might never hear of them if you look there first. They have a lot of winding options and I think even their custom winding parts are reasonably priced.

I was under the impression you could use off-the-shelf transformers, at least some of the time [1] but I don't know what I'm doing ^_^
