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 ...

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 ...

This document tackles the basic principles of a flyback converter and the mechanisms behind its operation. It includes a brief but concise discussion on designing Resistor-Capacitor-Diode (RCD) ...

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 ...

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 ...
