Very fast digital gates
Hello again! Yes I know that for such speed, I should be very strict in the design.

Very fast digital gates
Hello, thank you for your first response. I need such speed in order to generate a very fast dV/dt (>1500V/us). The target is to make some characterize some device in extreme condition.

Photodiode amplifier diode offset
An alternative could be to read the data-sheet of photo-diode that could be similar. For this one (example): thorlabs.com/drawings/…, the information output should be in the leakage current, that give a voltage on RL resistance. And a DC voltage should be apply on the diode to work correctly.

MKP DC-Link capacitor: Why Upp<0.2*Undc?
OK, I will do that. First a filter with X Caps in PI to remove EMI. After possibly MKP1848. Thank you!

MKP DC-Link capacitor: Why Upp<0.2*Undc?
...So a sort of filtering (like EMI filter with X1/X2 capacitor) should be used first. After this filter MKP1848 could be used. Is it right?

MKP DC-Link capacitor: Why Upp<0.2*Undc?
I try to understand where is the limit, and maybe I have found an explanation in MKP1848 document: "These capacitors are not suitable for mains applications as across-the-line capacitors without additional protection. These mains applications are strictly regulated in safety standards and therefore electromagnetic interference suppression capacitors conforming the standards must be used."

MKP DC-Link capacitor: Why Upp<0.2*Undc?
I think we are on two different schematics. You are talking about the decoupling of 350V/2A DC supply? I think you are right, >100uF is needed. In my case I was talking about filtering 240VAC/50Hz supply. My question is: is it possible to use the series MKP1848 for that? (that are called "DC-Link")

MKP DC-Link capacitor: Why Upp<0.2*Undc?
But I have an idea: Have they write the specification with highest AC frequency, like 10kHz? If they have do that, then I can understand why we cannot apply high AC voltage! If this hypothesis is correct, then I can assume that "APPLICATION NOTE AND LIMITING CONDITIONS" is not totally valid with 50Hz?

Same calculation with 100uF under 240VAC/50Hz: the current is 7.5A, and then the dissipated power is 0.17W. In principle, no risk of self-heating, right?

MKP DC-Link capacitor: Why Upp<0.2*Undc?
I continue my calculation: ESR is 0.063 ohm, so the dissipated power is 0.3mW. No risk of self-heating!

MKP DC-Link capacitor: Why Upp<0.2*Undc?
The value is 1uF. If I make the calculation, 240VAC/50Hz should give 73mA. Maximum RMS current is 2A. So with 240VAC, we use 3.6% of the max current!
