The Power Switches are the heart of every power converter. Their operation will directly determine the reliability and efficiency of the product. To enhance the performance of the switching circuit of ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

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 ...

Snubbers play an important role in switch-mode power supplies. To understand use of the snubber, we have to look at the performance of a switch-mode power supply. Fig. 1. RCD and R2CD snubbers for ON ...

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 ...
