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 other day, I was casually scrolling through Google when I stumbled upon a flood of dirt-cheap RC snubber circuit modules on various online stores. That got me thinking—it’s high time we talk about ...
