WASHINGTON, May 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- VPT,
Inc., a HEICO company (NYSE:HEI.A) (NYSE:HEI), today released its
SGRB Series of space qualified DC-DC converters at the Satellite
2019 Show. Using advanced GaN technology, the SGRB is capable of
very high efficiency, up to 95%, as well as radiation tolerance. A
fixed-frequency reduced voltage switching topology results in very
low input and output noise, making it suitable for use in
telecommunication systems.
Specifically designed for applications facing the harsh
radiation environments of space, the SGRB Series has been
characterized to Total Ionizing Dose (TID) of 100 krad(Si),
including Enhanced Low Dose Rate Sensitivity (ELDRS), and Single
Event Effects (SEE) performance to 85 MeV/mg/cm2. The
SGRB Series features an integrated EMI filter, 100 V input and 28
V, 400 W output, and is rated for full power operation from -35°C
to 85°C. VPT's history of proven space flight heritage ensures
long-term performance and reliability.
"We developed these products to provide a solution that
dramatically increases the power supply efficiency," said
Jeremy Ferrell, VPT's Director of
Engineering. "This, in turn, greatly reduces the system size,
weight, and cost. The SGRB product uses GaN technology that allows
us to increase the efficiency beyond the traditional radiation
hardened silicon offering."
"VPT is pleased to announce our first GaN based, 100V input
DC-DC converters designed specifically for space applications,"
Malcolm Campbell, VPT's Executive
Director of International Sales and Marketing said. "The SGRB
product specifications are particularly well suited for space-borne
telecommunication applications where high efficiency, low noise,
and radiation tolerance are critical to mission success. Further,
we see the design topology of the SGRB as the beginning of an
exciting family of future models based on GaN technology."
VPT is reviewing specific customer requests for custom orders of
the SGRB Series. Additional information on the SGRB Series of DC-DC
converters and specific product data can be found at
