In this video, Prof. Sam Ben-Yaakov explains the function of a diode RC snubber and how to define a snubber resistor and snubber capacitor. In a boost converter example, the function of the diode RC snubber is explained. In a concrete case, the impact of resistor and capacitor values is evaluated and simulated using LTSpice.

Temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) is the calculation of a relative change of resistance per degree of temperature change. It is measured in ppm/°C (1 ppm = 0.0001%) and is defined as: TCR = (R2– R1)/ R1 (T2– T1). For high-precision resistors, this specification is typically expressed in parts per million (ppm) per degrees Celsius, with reference to normal room temperature, typically +25°C.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can be a fun activity, like when rubbing a balloon on your hair. When it comes to electronic devices, this fun phenomenon decreases application reliability. These malfunctions result in product losses adding up to billions of dollars annually. TVS diodes are one common type of ESD countermeasure, but did you know capacitors can help...
