No, not at all. See my parallel post for a more complete description. The
topology I refer to is essentially the Buck and Boost merged into one. It
has been around for years, although for some reason seems to be not all
that well known. It is part of the Flyback family, and (unlike the SEPIC) is
easy to understand and implement, and simple to make.
