This article has shown digital implementation of the active-clamp snubber circuit for high output current applications in isolated DC-DC converters. The proposed active-clamp scheme offers several ...

Adding a high-side MOSFET switch to the conventional forward and flyback power converter design brings many benefits, especially in higher input-voltage applications. With the resulting two-switch ...

Furthermore, design improvements such as quasi‐two‐level operation and the integration of snubber circuits have contributed to the reduction of electromagnetic interference and the improvement ...

Active snubber: In flyback applications, a resistor capacitor diode (RCD) snubber is widely used as the clamping circuit to reduce SW’s peak voltage and absorb leakage inductance energy. However, this ...
