The rig will be powered from a 12V source eg battery/AC wallwart
/whatever. However, internally the rig needs various voltages, including
1.8V for logic and -12V. I want to ptotect against inadvertent
overvoltage or reverse voltage. I want it to be as efficient as
possible, so I dont want to use a linear regulator. SMPS seems the
obvious choice. I may well shield the PSU section, and isolate the
ground etc to reduce noise. I was seeking advice from the experts here
as to whether the idea is feasible and whether there is a redaymade
solution.

I'm not understanding something here. You want to design a power supply that
protects against reverse voltage and overvoltage. OK. Is this power supply a
battery or are you actually building a power supply that runs from the wall
outlet?

The requirements are quite different, depending on what you are trying to
achieve.
