Some amplifier applications require clamping or limiting due to large, sporadic signals appearing at the amplifier input. Clamping these errant signals protects the amplifier and other sensitive ...

This Design Idea is able to turn off inductive loads at a very fast rate. When connected to a load (here 15mH + 10?), the modified freewheeling path in the clamping circuit based around M2 reduces the ...

In October, we described how to snub the voltage across output rectifiers at turn-on in the forward converter. Now, we look at snubbing the FET turn-off voltage in the flyback converter. Figure 1 ...
