Several different technologies and designs are available among solid-state switches today. The major families are the standard Triacs (triode for alternating current), the snubberless Triacs, and the ...
Promising to simplify solid-state relay, ac-motor control, and lighting ballast designs, the FOD420 and FOD4208 random-phase, snubber-less triac drive optocouplers integrate active dv/dt clamps to ...
With a few mouse clicks you can easily purchase Solid State Relays (SSRs) online. Or you can make one at home with a handful of different electronic parts. The question is– should I buy it or make it ...
A snubber circuit limits voltage spikes in power converters. Snubbers are also used in the output of Class-D audio amplifiers for the same reasons (Fig. 1). When the transistor you use to switch the ...
