Exxelia at EMV

Exxelia is pleased to exhibit at EMV 2019 in Stuttgart, Germany from March 19 to 21 inHall C2 Booth# 113, Exxelia will be introducing a new filter design conception.


Showcased at Exxelia’s booth #113 in Hall C2, will be Asymmetric filter solutions, the most optimized design in the market.
Smaller, lighter and consequently easier to install, Exxelia is the only manufacturer to solve HEMP requirements with Asymmetric filter designs, hence addressing the security challenges of tomorrow.

Exxelia pushes the limits of design with the new BDP series allowing a 50% space saving in your installation while keeping high technical specifications (insertion loss of 80dB, 1250A, 300kHz to 18GHz) and complying with the MIL STD 188 125 1&2 test requirements.

Asymmetric designs allow to combine safety and miniaturization while still handling HEMP and TEMPEST requirements. Three important benefits stand out from this conception, starting with a lower heat dissipation: as no magnetic field is generated, inductors suffer no heat dissipation. Secondly, the leakage is significantly lower thanks to a low value capacitance. Finally by using only one common inductor, these designs definitely save space.

Dr. Guillaume Aubard, Exxelia Filters’ Business Development Manager will be speaking at EMV Forum Hall C2-319 on March 20th from 3:40pm to 4pm about the Asymmetric filter solutions for HEMP and TEMPEST following by a Q&A.

HIGH VOLTAGE CERAMIC CAPACITORS BASED ON BRAND NEW DIELECTRIC MATERIAL

No more compromises between stability and capacitance! The brand new C48X material combines most advantages of NPO and X7R dielectrics, enabling the new high power and high frequency ceramic capacitor range to provide great stability in voltage, high capacitance, great dissipation factor and fast charge/discharge. Miniaturization is a driving need for future electronics pieces of equipment. This evolution, true whatever the application, leads Exxelia Technologies (ex-Eurofarad) to develop a brand new high voltage ceramic capacitors range based on a new dielectric material named C48X, combining most of the advantages of NPO and X7R dielectrics. Compared to X7R material, C48X dielectric allows to get the same capacitance values under working voltage with the unrivaled advantage of a very low dissipation factor (less than 5.10-4). Besides, it can also withstand very high dV/dt, up to 10kV/μs, which makes it the solution of choice for pulse and fast charge/discharge applications. Thus capacitors with C48X dielectric appear to be ideally suited for power applications where heat dissipation may be detrimental to performances and reliability. Exxelia Technologies’ capacitors based on the C48X material have been developed from 200V to 5kV with chip sizes ranging from 1812 to 16080, allowing a maximum capacitance value of 10μF 200V (10 times more than with an NPO ceramic). The standard stacked versions are proposed with a maximum capacitance value of 47μF 200V. Regarding the mounting of these capacitors, many configurations are possible to be compatible either with surface mounting or through-hole mounting. All these versions can be suitable for space use and can be designed in order to avoid any whisker growth risk (10% min lead in all tin-lead alloys used). The introduction of the C48X range in the EPPL (European Space Agency Preferred Parts List) for space is in progress for sizes 0603 to 6560 from 100V to 1kV up to size 1210 and up to 5kV until the size 6560). Some typical applications: • 400Hz Aircraft • Defense • Space • Precision/filtering capacitance in thermally challenged environment for AC or DC voltage
