Below is a two-step plan to replicate the SMPS circuit shown in your image using discrete, readily available components. Step 1 adds all components; Step 2 wires them as per the diagram.
Step 1: Add All Required Components
  1. PWM Controller
    • Add UC3842 as U1.
  2. Power MOSFET
    • Add IRF840 as Q1 (N-channel MOSFET).
  3. Optocoupler (Feedback Isolation)
    • Add PC817 as U2.
  4. Voltage Reference/Regulator
    • Add TL431 as U3 for the feedback loop reference.
  5. Diodes
    • Add a high-speed diode (e.g., UF4007) as D1 on the secondary output.
    • Add a general diode (e.g., 1N4148) as D2 for any small-signal needs in the primary/auxiliary circuits, if visible in the diagram.
  6. Main Transformer
    • Add a flyback-type Transformer as T1.
      (Exact specs will depend on output power/voltage you want. Choose one rated appropriately.)
  7. Resistors
    • Add the following resistors (adjust values to match the diagram as closely as possible):
      • R1: 10 kΩ
      • R2: 22 Ω
      • R3: 68 Ω
      • R4: 1 kΩ
      • R5: 33 kΩ
      • R6: 4.7 kΩ
      • R7: 10 Ω (gate resistor or sense resistor, depending on diagram details)
      • R8: 10 kΩ (feedback or pull-up)
      • …and any additional resistors you see in the original image.
  8. Capacitors
    • Add the following capacitors (adjust values to match the diagram):
      • C1: 0.1 µF bypass
      • C2: 22 µF or 100 µF (input bulk filter or timing cap)
      • C3: e.g., 47 µF for the output filter
      • C4: small RC timing or feedback capacitor (e.g., 1 nF–100 nF)
      • Any additional filtering capacitors visible in the original diagram.
  9. Inductors or Chokes (If Shown)
    • If there is a secondary inductor for output filtering, add L1 with a value matching the diagram.
  10. Ground Symbol
  • Use the standard Ground component for the common reference and any isolated grounds.
Step 2: Wire Them According to the Diagram
  • U1 (UC3842) Primary Connections:
    • VCC pin to the primary supply rail (through any startup resistor if shown).
    • GND pin to primary ground.
    • Sense pin to the MOSFET source (via a low-value sense resistor, if present) and to R2.
    • Feedback pin to PC817 output side and/or TL431 reference path as in the diagram.
    • Timing or compensation pins to the appropriate RC network (e.g., [C4], [R4]) as shown.
  • Q1 (IRF840) as the Main Switch:
    • Gate to UC3842 Gate drive pin (through R7 if shown).
    • Drain to the primary winding of T1.
    • Source to sense resistor and primary ground reference as in the diagram.
  • Transformer (T1):
    • Primary side from drain of Q1 to supply rail.
    • Secondary side feeding the diode D1 and filter capacitor C3.
    • Auxiliary winding (if present) for powering UC3842 or for feedback referencing.
  • Feedback (Optocoupler + TL431):
    • PC817 LED side connected to the secondary or reference circuit that senses output voltage.
    • TL431 reference and cathode connected across output rails with resistor dividers as in the diagram. Its output drives the optocoupler LED.
    • The optocoupler transistor side returns a signal to UC3842’s feedback pin.
  • Output Filtering:
    • Secondary of T1 → D1 → C3 → Output.
    • If the diagram shows an LC filter, place L1 in series and an additional capacitor if indicated.
  • Ground Connections:
    • Tie all primary grounds to the same reference node.
    • Tie all secondary grounds to the isolated reference node as shown.
    • Optocoupler provides isolation between the two.
Match all resistor/capacitor values and net names to the hand-drawn schematic as closely as possible. Once these components and connections are in place, you’ll have a practical SMPS schematic equivalent to the provided diagram.
