MIT 6.622 Power Electronics, Spring 2023 Instructor: Xin Zan View the complete course (or resource): https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-622-power-electronics-spring-2023/ YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP62UTc77mJoubhDELSC8lfR0 In this lecture, we do a back of the envelope calculation on semiconductor losses, including conduction losses and switching losses. We also explore the use of snubbers to modify the switching transitions to reduce noise, protect the semiconductor devices, and reduce internal device dissipation.
