CeraLink Capacitors

TDK CeraLink Capacitors feature patented antiferroelectric capacitor technology based on a material that offers increasing capacitance with increasing voltage. This technology makes these capacitors ideal for snubber applications. The devices feature low ESL and ESR properties while supporting higher switching frequencies and more robust semiconductors (high-speed IGBTs vs. MOSFETs). TDK CeraLink Capacitors deliver an ideal cost-effective ratio due to lower manufacturing complexity, high switching frequencies, and chip areas typically smaller than super junction MOSFETs. The cost of this type of solution is lower than a MOSFET solution. When used for system integration only, the capacitors lower the risk that semiconductors are damaged by peak overvoltages caused by the system approach. The snubber feature keeps the semiconductors in a safe operating area.
