Would the best way to prevent transient voltage spikes when powering on/off a circuit be to add a capacitor between the DC supply and ground? If there's a better solution, I'd appreciate the advice!
I have a 555 timer circuit feeding some 2n3055's which I'm using to make high voltage sparks through ignition coils. I keep frying the 555's and 2n3055's when I turn the circuit on or off when it's tuned to resonance. For my project I'd like to be able to keep it tuned to resonance when I power it on or off.
