IR Introduces High Efficiency, Low Voltage Output DC-DC Converter Solutions for High Reliability Spacecraft Applications Using Digital Technologies - 05/09/2011
IR has introduced the GH Series of radiation hardened (RAD-Hard™) DC-DC converters. The new 50 W devices are designed to maximize efficiency for onboard spacecraft applications requiring long mission life up to 15 years.
The GH Series of devices is suitable for designs using new digital signal processors and FPGA technologies that require a supply voltage as low as 1.0 V. Key features include 18 V to 40 V input range, total ionization dose (TID) of over 100 krad (Si), single event effect (SEE) (Heavy Ions) with rated LET greater than 82 MeV.cm2/mg, internal EMI filter complying with most major satellite power buses, and a weight of less than 110 g.
