I'm switching a small, 12V DC Motor (pulls approx 6W max) with a MOSFET that's rated to 60V IIRC. I realize that the MOSFET is tolerant of a certain amount of transients and I have overspecified it, but I'd like to toss in a snubber just for belt and suspenders sake.
Before I risk blowing an input to my scope in ignorance, what is the typical range of transients that I might see - just as an order of magnitude?
10's of volts?
100's of volts?
Should I fuss with a 700V differential probe on the front as an "insurance policy" against blowing an input? My scope is rated to 300V max on the inputs I believe.
Thanks in advance.
