- a damping circuit commonly referred to as "snubber”
- chopper circuit such as those used in inverters for supplying electrical energy to electronic equipment.
- An inverter generally comprises a switching circuit comprising pairs of switching transistors which are connected to one another in series. These pairs of switching transistors are connected in parallel to a first line and a second line. The first line is at a supply potential and the second line is grounded.
- Such inverters are subject to thermal stresses and subject to rapid overvoltages and voltage variations which stress the components.
- a damping circuit comprising a capacitive element and a charging diode of the capacitive element which are connected to one another in series and which are connected in parallel with one of the switching transistors of each pair of switching transistors.
- the damping circuit further comprises a resistor having a first end connected to a connection point located between the charge diode and the capacitive element and a second end connected to the first line.

- the damping circuit comprises an inductive element having a first end connected to a connection point located between the charging diode and the capacitive element and a second end connected to one of the lines.
- the energy stored in the capacitive element is reinjected into the first line via the inductive element. This makes it possible to reduce the energy losses generated by the switching of the switching transistor in its off state.
- the damping circuit comprises a driving transistor which is connected to the second end of the inductive element and to the other of the lines and which has a conductive state for charging the inductive element and a blocked state for discharging the inductive element.
- the control transistor makes it possible to control the restitution of the energy recovered to the first line.
- the driving transistor is controlled to move from its conducting state to its locked state before a complete charging of the inductive element and, preferably, the driving transistor is controlled to go from its conducting state to its off state when the voltage in the capacitive element reaches approximately half of the supply potential.
- the discharge of the capacitive element is accelerated by a driving effect decreasing the transfer time, which makes it possible to increase the switching frequency.
- the current in the inductive element is also limited.
- a protection transistor is connected in series between the charge diode and the capacitive element.
- the protective transistor makes it possible to avoid the accidental passage of the power supply energy into the inductive element.
- a diode is connected in parallel with the capacitive element between the first end of the inductive element and the second line.
- This diode makes it possible to avoid recharging the capacitive element by the energy coming from the inductive element at the end of the transfer of energy between the inductive element and the supply line.
