But it was ridiculous. It was just a re-hash of the standard old PFC bias circuit of page 9, fig 5 , of the following...

Is it ridiculous to base your designs on application notes?
The Boost PFC diode has been made synchronous,
That may not look like much, but possibly a sizable improvement for efficiency.
and they then have to balance the volt.seconds in the forward transformer using software....i mean , how pathetic is that?...no wonder it kept dropping out when i hit it with no load to full load transients.......
It also went unstable with regularity.
Are you telling us that using software to control a power supply is pathetic and leads to utterly unreliable operation?
Weren't you the one that told us you offered to use a MCU to control some power supply on a contract for military gear and got mad when the client told you they wanted something purely hardware and didn't want any firmware in it? Or do I not remember properly.
It was quite literally pathetic!
Maybe, we have to take your word for it.
But what made you so mad about this design to begin with?
I mean, how trash an invention can someone put out there,
Anyone is free to put any invention they like out there. Then regulations and markets take care of the rest.
and then sue someone for them reverse engineering it (because they sent it to me to trial out) and sending the schem to your mate to have a laugh about?
Why did you do this to begin with and why did you make it public enough that the inventor went as far as suing you?
I guess they wouldn't have bothered to sue if that was all just a quick laugh between coworkers.
As an engineer, do your work as well as you can but don't belittle the work of others, especially publicly. That will backfire sooner or later.
Sure this may all be just a fake story as many suspect your stories are. We'll never know.
