device failure, excessive EMI, or instability. In many cases, you can damp a ringing waveform with a series RC
network across the offending device.
Si tiene alguna sonando formas de onda en su circuito de potencia, estas formas de onda
debe ser de amortiguamiento o pueden conducir a fallo de los dispositivos, el exceso de
IME, o la inestabilidad. En muchos casos, puede sonar un húmedo y de forma de onda con
una serie RC a través de la red ofender dispositivo.
Note: if the ringing frequency is not almost two orders of magnitude higher than the switching frequency, you may be
in trouble. It will be hard to damp the ringing without excessive dissipation, and alternate circuit solutions must be
found.
First, you need to measure the natural frequency of the ringing waveform.
To design the snubber for the power FET of a flyback circuit, for example, first run the circuit at low power with an
oscilloscope probe on the drain waveform with no snubber.
Make sure you are using a low capacitance scope probe, otherwise the waveforms will be modified by the
connection of the probe. If you suspect that the probe capacitance is too high, just set the scope to a higher sensitivity,
and without making electrical contact to the FET drain, just bring probe close to the device. You will see the high-
frequency ringing waveform due to the radiated noise.
Asegúrese de que usted está utilizando una baja capacitancia sonda alcance, de lo
contrario, la onda será modificado por la conexión de la sonda. Si usted sospecha que
la sonda de capacitancia es demasiado alto, justo fijar el alcance de una mayor
sensibilidad, y sin hacer contacto eléctrico a la FET de drenaje, al igual que la sonda
cerca del dispositivo. Verá la alta frecuencia de onda de sonar debido al ruido
radiado.
Observe the ringing waveform at turn-off on the drain. Use a reasonably high input voltage (without destroying the
FET, or course) since the resonant frequency of the ringing will be voltage dependent. Record the resonant frequency.
The ringing is caused by an equivalent RLC network. For a low-loss circuit, it will be quite undamped, and the
oscillations will continue for many cycles. Step 1 is to add a damping R across the device. First , you must know one
of the resonant elements, L or C. On the primary switch, the leakage inductance is the dominant L, and should be well
known. For a secondary ringing, the diode capacitance will be a known quantity.
El timbre es causada por un equivalente RLC red. Para una baja pérdida de circuito,
será muy undamped, y las oscilaciones seguirá durante muchos ciclos. Paso 1 es añadir
una amortiguación R en todo el dispositivo. En primer lugar, usted debe saber uno de
los elementos resonantes, L o C. En el interruptor principal, la fuga de inductancia es
el dominante L, y debe ser bien conocida. Por un segundo timbre, el diodo capacitancia
será una cantidad conocida.
Calculate the characteristic impedance, of the resonant circuit.

Try an initial value of snubber resistor of R = Z. This usually suffices to control the ringing.
Using just a resistor across the power device will control the ringing, but the dissipation would be very large. A series
capacitor is used to reduce the power dissipation in the damping resistor.
Increasing C beyond this value will increase dissipation, but will not improve the damping. In some cases you will be
able to decrease it by 30% or so, but any less than this and the snubber will be less effective.
where V is the voltage on the device when it is off. Depending on the circuit operation, the actual dissipation may be
closer to half this value in some cases, and the design will be conservative. Use thermal data from your circuit to
determine if the resistor size can be reduced.
Build the snubber (keep leads short) and test the circuit. You should be close to the final solution on this first attempt.
The values depend on the leakage inductance (Le) of the transformer. Off the top of my head select C
such that the resonant frequency of the LC circuit is 10 times that of the switching frequency.
Fres=(1/2*pi)*1/(sqrt(L*C)). Select R=sqrt(L/C); it might be 2*sqrt(l/c)
