 Exxelia Ohmcraft High Voltage Chip Dividers Enable Design Flexibility for Manufacturers of Semiconductor Equipment

 

ROCHESTER, N.Y., September 17, 2021—Microchips—also known as semiconductors—are critical to the function of everyday technologies like mobile phones, computers, radios, and televisions. To finetune the outputs of their main power supply, manufacturers of semiconductor production equipment have leveraged custom resistors from Exxelia Ohmcraft for more than 25 years for their high precision, high voltage and stability.

 

Exxelia Ohmcraft’s custom surface mount resistors and dividers offer semiconductor equipment engineers with maximum design flexibility in the smallest footprint, as they have the ability to specify both the resistance value of a surface mount divider and the divider ratio. This allows engineers to produce the necessary voltage and current required to create the highest-quality end products.

 

“Traditionally, high-voltage dividers are made using two different resistors, but our high voltage chip dividers integrate them into one part,” said Eric Van Wormer, Vice President of Exxelia Ohmcraft. “We always work closely with our customers to ensure that we meet the specific design requirements necessary to create their quality technologies.”

 

Exxelia Ohmcraft’s technology utilizes the proprietary Micropen electronic printing system to “print” precise, narrow, serpentine lines with resistive ink on a ceramic substrate, producing higher performance resistors over a wider range of values on a smaller surface area than is possible with conventional film resistor technology.

Our presence at Electronica 2022

Aircraft & Space Embedded Products cluster, bringing together components that can be mounted on a satellite, radar or aircraft, we were ready to introduce two innovations that are particularly well suited to the challenges of the aviation of the future and the objectives of decarbonisation of the air. Its latest film capacitor innovation called MML™ (named after its "Miniature Micro-Layer" dielectric) shows an energy density up to 4 times higher than other film dielectrics. MML® technology makes power capacitors smaller, lighter and compatible with higher temperatures, and is therefore particularly suitable for DC-Link, decoupling & charge-discharge applications. Alongside MML™ components, we presented the latest innovations in magnetic components, saving up to 40% in weight and 20% in volume while dissipating more power, some of which have been designed for eVTOL applications, as well as the CCM & Dual Active Bridge multi-output transformers. Rail & Energy Exxelia showed Alcon capacitors for the first time at its Rail & Energy cluster. Alcon is one of India&#39;s leading designers and manufacturers of standard and customised aluminium electrolytic and film capacitors for niche markets. Alcon supplies many of the components used in trains, electrical charging stations and power generation systems. Exxelia&#39;s film and ceramic capacitors for signalling systems, as well as current and instrument transformers, and resistors was presented on display.   Medical​​ Exxelia Micropen & Exxelia Ohmcraft components was showcased at Electronica for the very first time with a unique offering for the medical sector. Indeed, Exxelia Micropen&#39;s unique additive printing technology is widely used for disposable medical equipment such as endotracheal tubes or surgical ablation tools, and high voltage resistors are used in laboratory equipment such as mass spectrometers or thermal cyclers.
