These applications may require a snubber beyond what is needed to keep the switching node within its safe operating voltage range. No, the Zener diode is not required, but like the snubber, can ...

A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

The suggested snubber capacitor is 2~4 times the output capacitance of the low-side FET ... Apparently, the high side driver in the TPS40304 is dead (too high forward voltage on the boot diode and too ...
