Hi to all.
I am looking to design a flyback transformer , for a small supply. I
have a couple design examples from ON-Semi that I'm looking at , and am
a little confused. Depending on what app note I use ,
I get wildly different results for the same design inputs. For example:
12V out 7W.
One app note shows a primary inductance of 3.3mH and the other app note
works
out at 1.8mH. I seem to come across this problem a lot. All the
different design procedures
seem to come out with totally different values for the same problem.
How do I know
which is the correct solution?

Just cheat and get the design calculator from powerint.com.

I have :0)
I would still like to understand what's behind the whole design process
though.

Ok, here's a quick example.

Your DC bus is ~ 160 V ? If Lpri is 3.3mH then dI/dt = V/L = 160/3.3.10^-3

= 48.4.10^3 A/s

Your f is 67kHz. which gives a period of 150 us. Allow a maximum conduction time
for the switch of ~ 75us.

This means that after 75us you'll have 0.36A flowing in the transformer primary

This gives 215 uJ of energy.

Multiply by 67kHz - this gives 14W max power transferred to the load @ 50%
conduction period.
