Figure 1
In a simple flyback topology (a) with a positive input voltage and low-side switch, closing the switch pulls the voltage, LX, low (b). The primary current (c) then ramps up, storing energy in the transformer. As the secondary current ramps down (d), power in the transformer transfers to the output.
