Has anyone heard of this chip?· I just skimmed through its datasheet and never found time to determine whether it is suitable for amatures.

    Not a simple chip.

    Disadvantages of switched mode power supplies, SMPS
    The largest disadvantage of switched mode power supplies is that they can not easily be employed by electronic hobbyists or even electronics technicians in a casual fashion owing to circuit complexity. A traditional 12V DC power supply providing 1A of current is well within the construction capabilities of every electronic hobbyist with some experience. A switched mode power supply on the other hand could prove a very daunting task.
