Designing a RC snubber circuit

In applications including power electronics, reverse recovery effects are very common and can induce unnecessary high-frequency oscillations in the circuit. This application document from NXP semiconductors describes the design of a simple “RC snubber circuit” for suppressing the oscillations. The technique requires the extraction of the circuit parasitic capacitance and inductance, and has been illustrated well with an example in the document.
