A new release from Modular Devices is heading to the marketplace — their 396 500 Watt Proton Rad Hard 100K+ Space Power Supply High Power DC – DC Converter.
The *3696 DC-DC converters are a family of 500 watt rated modules that provide high reliability power for critical space environment applications that require higher power than full hybrid DC-DC converters can offer. The circuit topology of the *3696 provides superior SEU and 100K+ TID performance. Five different ranges of input voltage are offered, each tailored to popular satellite bus voltages. A range of popular single and dual output voltages and custom output voltages are available.
The units include an input EMI filter and active reverse polarity protection. User specified under voltage lockout is included. Outputs include high attenuation ripple and common mode spike filtering. The *3696 converters are constructed with an optimum mixture of hermetic hybrid control circuits and high reliability surface mount components, offering a construction that is suitable for the most demanding space applications, while providing reliable conduction cooled thermal paths for all components. Unit features include…
