This application note describes the diode selection process and snubber design for high voltage inverting flyback converter for subscriber-line interface card (SLIC) applications. Critical diode ...

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 ...

This document describes the design of a simple “RC snubber circuit”. The snubber is used to suppress high-frequency oscillations associated with reverse recovery effects in power semiconductor ...

Electrical engineering students are taught about magnetics and that energy is stored in an inductor when it is energized. This can be presented in a theoretical sense and may be applied to topics like ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When converting a higher voltage to a lower voltage, a buck (switching) converter provides much greater efficiency than ...
