Abstract

ABSTRACT Snubbers are used in power transistor switching circuits to keep the device operation within its Safe Operating Area (SOA) during switching. The conventional series and shunt snubbers are satis -factory in a single transistor circuit. However, these are not satisfactory for a totem pole transistor arrangement. In this paper various snubber circuits are analysed and their effects are discussed. A snubber circuit is developed and tested which is suitable for transistors in bridge configuration. The circuit is thoroughly analysed and design equations are derived for the snubber components.
