Melexis is creating all-silicon RC snubbers for integrating within silicon carbide power modules. Currently sampling to potential customers, the parts will all be variants of the new part number ...
In his SMPS Technology Newsletter, Jerrold Foutz reports that an instructional video, “R-C Snubbers,” which features power design expert Rudy Severns In his SMPS Technology Newsletter, Jerrold Foutz ...
Typically, for isolated DC-DC power supply applications with high-output current, the use of synchronous rectifiers (particularly MOSFETs) is dominant. A high-output current also introduces a high ...
Power-supply designers struggle to reduce the ill effects of the reverse-recovery charge in switching diodes, especially in high-voltage circuits. The recovery mechanism causes unwanted ringing and ...
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 ...
