The surge voltage and current have to be controlled to not exceed the maximum rated voltage/current of the device. This application note illustrates a way to design snubber circuit, which is one of the methods to suppress surges voltages and currents.

This engineering tutorial article not only explains common snubber circuits but provides several design calculators, that make snubber design easy. Figure 1 - Coil driving circuit showing the use of a RCD clamping snubber (D1,C1,R1) and a RCD rate of voltage rise snubber (D2,R2,C2)

There are many different kinds of snubbers but the two most common ones are the resistor-capacitor (RC) damping network and the resistor-capacitor-diode (RCD) turn-off snubber. This appli-cation note will show you how to design these two snubbers.

This article presents some design guidelines for the RCD snubber of flyback converters. When the MOSFET turns off, a high-voltage spike occurs on the drain pin because of a res-onance between the leakage inductor (Llk) of the main trans-former and the output capacitor (COSS) of …

In this paper, the working principle of the RCD-R snubber is studied in detail. A helpful method to optimal design the damping resistor is proposed. Both the theoretical analysis and experimental results verify that damping resistor can suppress CM noise effectively and have no cost on the efficiency of the converter. Figure 1.

Zach takes you through a step-by-step guide, covering everything from understanding the basics of resistor-capacitor-diode (RCD) snubbers to practical design techniques for both flyback and...

Oct 23, 2024 · SiC MOSFET: Non-Discharge RCD Snubber Circuit Design In a non-discharge RCD snubber circuit, in contrast with discharge RCD snubber circuits, the power dissipated in R SNB is only a part of the surge power, so that the allowable dissipation for R SNB can be comparatively small.

In October, we described how to snub the voltage across output rectifiers at turn on in the forward converter. Now, we look at snubbing the FET turn off voltage in the flyback converter. Figure 1 shows the flyback converter power stage and the primary MOSFET voltage waveform.

Oct 9, 2024 · Design of the third type of snubber circuit, the discharge RCD snubber circuit, is here explained.
