A snubber network across the power diode reduces ringing and spikes at the switching node. Excessive ringing and spikes can cause erratic operation and couple spikes and noise to the output. Voltage spikes beyond the rating of the LM5575 or the re-circulating diode can damage these devices. Selecting the values for the snubber is best accomplished through empirical methods. First, make sure the lead lengths for the snubber connections are very short. For the current levels typical for the LM5575a resistor value between 5 and 20Ω is adequate. Increasing the value of the snubber capacitor results in more damping but higher losses. Select a minimum value of C11 that provides adequate damping of the SW pin waveform at high load.
