| "Giving away secrets" of electronics? |

Hi, I have been fixing up a bog standard couple of hard switched converters for a customer. Its bare basic , “electrician level” electronics, but tomorrow, I am being taken to their customer, to answer questions about “giving away secrets”…in relation to these bog standard hard switched converters. I have never given away real secrets about anything……and these circuits that I have been working on are literally "electrician level" SMPS designs……the sort of thing you get demo boards on for a couple of quid. The sort of thing that App notes talk about in droves. The sort of schems that are strewn all over the internet. They are the sorts of SMPS that a 14 year old could design. It’s the simplest level of electronics….no more secret than an electricians knowledge. It’s the knowledge of SMPS, that got outsourced to the Pacific Rim years ago…….as if there are secrets in this?.....secrets no way. If it was secret, why all SMPS work is outsourced to the Pacific Rim? They blame people like me for the fact that China is a million miles ahead of the west in SMPS design. Its the west's own fault...for outsourcing massive amounts of SMPS work to the Far East. Has anybody else ever been to one of these inquests? What happens? |

You are taken to your customer's customer to give away secrets? Or are you in trouble for supposedly giving away any secrets? |

I can't imagine any "secrets" that haven't been asked here by him. |
