Ac Rc Snubber Calculator

An Excel-based calculator eases the design of RC snubbers in power switching applications.RC Snubber Calculator SpreadsheetIn power switching applications, a designer often has to contend with spurious oscillations. These are the result of parasitic capacitance and inductance on the board and behave like the step response of an RLC circuit. These transients can induced undesired noise in neighboring circuits and create over voltage spikes that can compromise long term component reliability.Figure 1 - Typical RC Snubber CircuitThe most common way to mitigate the effects of these transients is by using an RC snubber circuit. There are many excellent sources on the web discussing this topic so I won't repeat the discussion here (see references at the end for more information).

Instead, I'm offering an Excel-based calculator that simplifies the components selection should you be faced with this task.The SpreadsheetThe spreadsheet can be download through the link below:And here's an Excel 2003 compatible version as some users can't open the latest excel formats.(Excel 2003 compatible)The spreadsheet is quite simple to use (See Figure 2).Figure 2 - The Spreadsheet Calculator 'Interface'On the left side, colored in green, is the 'inputs' section. In order to precisely 'tune' the RC snubber, you should measure the frequency of the oscillations (without having the snubber) using an oscilloscope and enter it under fRING.The next step is to add a know value test film capacitor in parallel with the MOSFET (CTEST) and measure the new oscillating frequency as a result. Finally, you must select the damping factor for the desired response depending on how much overshoot you can tolerate. There's a graph in this document illustrating the normalized effect of the damping factor on the response.The 'results' section of the spreadsheet (colored orange) automatically calculate the recommended R and C values. The estimated parasitic capacitance CP and inductance LP are also displayed for reference.

Once you know those, you can calculate the snubber capacitor (C snub) and resistor (R snu b). I took the example waveforms in Figures 1 and 2 with an R-C snubber placed in parallel with the rectifier in the 9Vdc-57Vdc Input, 56V/20W Isolated Flyback Reference Design, but the procedure is the same if used across the FET. Capacitor (RC) damping network and the resistor-capacitor-diode (RCD) turn-off snubber. This appli-cation note will show you how to design these two snubbers. Switching waveforms Before getting into the design of snubbers it is important to understand the waveforms which occur naturally in power circuits.

Power dissipated in the Rs resistor is also estimated using the maximum supply voltage (VS) and the maximum switching frequency (fS) so you can select a resistor with the appropriate power handling capability.A table with standard E-series values is included for convenience.Enjoy!
