NASCENTechnology specializes in the development and manufacture of low profile, high reliability transformers and inductors using Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) materials and methods. LTCC indicates that the parts are fired at temperatures below 950°C, allowing for the use of thick film silver as the conductive material. This process eliminates the plastic bobbins, fine magnetic wire, and brittle ferrite cores associated with a typical transformer.By eliminating these weaker elements of transformers and inductors, NASCENTechnology has achieved several advantages. These new parts are much smaller and thinner than their traditional counterparts. They also have a high degree of magnetic shielding and are more robust than wire-wound transformers and inductors. Because of their small size, these parts can easily be integrated with other components into monolithic modules. Finally, NASCENTechnology has developed high-temperature inductors that can survive up to 300°C, and high-temperature transformers will be available as early as Fall 2010.
