D) snubber circuit.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A snubber circuit is the best choice for reducing the rate of rise of a high-speed switching transient. It consists of a resistor and capacitor connected in series and placed across the switch or power transistor. The snubber circuit provides a low impedance path for high-frequency noise, thereby reducing the rate of rise of the transient. Zener diodes are commonly used for voltage regulation, not for transient reduction. A regulator circuit may provide voltage stabilization, but it does not help with transient reduction. Schockley diodes are used in trigger circuits and are not related to transient reduction.
