CeraLink in a shot - optimized for conditions
under operation in power electronics
Use CeraLink when
Space requirement is tight
Temperature is demanding (+150 °C)
High current rating is vital
Requirements for capacitance density are tough
High switching frequencies are applied (SiC, GaN)
Main Application
Snubber capacitor
DC-Link capacitor
Filter capacitor
CeraLink technology supports
Increasing capacitance with DC bias and best in class
capacitance density at operating point (V
op
+ T
op
)
High current capability due to low losses at high frequencies
(up to several MHz) and high temperatures (up to +150 °C)
No limitation of dV/dt
Good self-regulating properties
Qualification based on AEC-Q200 rev. D
