ABSTRACT:
For use with a post regulator for a power converter, the post regulator having a rectifier circuit and an output circuit, an energy recovery snubber, a method of operating the same and a power converter employing the snubber or the method. In one embodiment, the snubber includes: (1) a clamping diode and a clamping capacitor, series-coupled between the rectifier circuit and the output circuit, that cooperate to recover reverse recovery energy developed in the power converter to an output thereof and (2) a charge balancing circuit, coupled to the clamping capacitor, that maintains a charge balance of the clamping capacitor.
