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 ...

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 ...

The phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) shown in Figure 1 is popular in applications >500 W because it can achieve soft switching on its input switches for high converter efficiency. Although switching ...

The critical role of snubber circuits in minimizing ringing and overshoot. How snubber circuitry is evolving to adapt to trends in power electronics, like the rising interest in wide-bandgap ...

Caterpillar recently introduced a new wet disk snubber upgrade for dipper doors on its 7495 Series electric rope shovels. The oil-filled snubber is maintenance and adjustment free for its 12,000-hour ...

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 ...

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 ...

Snubber The snubber has a porous metal disc available in three standard grades of porosity. Orifice type devices that prevent water hammer can get clogged easily, but this is less so for porous metal ...
