Abstract :
With a view of discussion we proposed to use snappy recovery diodes in power conversion devices. A diode with snappy recovery behaviour in coupling with the proposed low-cost current snubber has close to ideal recovery process, so such a diode seems to be more promising than a soft recovery diode for high-voltage high-power applications to which efficiency and reliability are the main care.
