The use of a snubber circuit to damp the voltage ringing stemming from parasitic oscillation in switching voltage regulators (VRs) is often not an option. The components for this circuitry must be ...
Switching devices and their supporting circuitry continue to advance to meet the demands of an ever-evolving power-electronics landscape. With the rise of silicon-carbide (SiC) and gallium-nitride ...
High-voltage transient spikes generated during power conversion or gate-drive switching can be very harmful. In a motor-drive application, voltage derivation over time (dV/dt) transients may break the ...
A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
