The transformer turns ratio, n, for the current doubling synchronous rectifier topology 
can then be selected for the required operating input and output voltages using the 
following ideal relationship shown in Equation 2-12.
EQUATION 2-12:
The previous equations governing the ZVT operation and resonant circuit component 
selection are also dependent on the peak primary current. If the output inductor 
magnetizing current is ignored, the primary peak current is given by Equation 2-13.
