Abstract :
In this paper a novel active snubber circuit is proposed, which is formed by introducing an active transistor to the traditional snubber circuit. The active transistor shares the control signal of the main power transistor. The snubber circuit can soften the switching process and make high-frequency-operation and high efficiency possible. The simulated waveforms and experimental results verify the rightness.
