Low loss snubber circuit

A power converter comprising:

• an electronic device susceptible to voltage spikes;
• and
• a low loss snubber circuit configured to protect the electronic device from voltage spikes, the low loss snubber circuit comprising:
• a bidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode having first and second nodes, wherein the first node of the bidirectional TVS diode is coupled to a drain terminal of the electronic device;
• a snubber capacitor having first and second nodes, wherein the first node is coupled to the second node of the bidirectional TVS diode and the second node is coupled to a source terminal of the electronic device;
• a snubber diode having an anode and a cathode, wherein the anode is coupled to the second node of the bidirectional TVS diode and the cathode is coupled to a node of the power converter;
• and
• a transformer comprising a primary coil and a secondary coil;
• wherein the secondary coil is coupled, at a first end, to the drain terminal of the electronic device;
• and
• wherein the secondary coil is coupled, at a second end, to the cathode of the snubber diode.
