Boeing launches O3b-mPOWER satellite incorporating Vicor radiation-tolerant power modules
December 21 2022 - 9:00AM
The December 16 launch of Boeing’s O3b mPOWER communication
satellite marks a milestone for Vicor Corporation (VICR NASDAQ),
whose high-performance, radiation-tolerant modules support Boeing’s
satellite mission. Boeing’s O3b satellite will help deliver
broadband internet access to the “other 3 billion” (O3b) people
around the globe where access is limited or nonexistent.
Drawing on an extensive heritage, Vicor power modules are
ideally suited for powering advanced communications ASICs and FPGAs
that require a very low-noise operating environment enabled by
Vicor’s soft-switching, high-frequency ZCS/ZVS power stages. The
thermally adept modules in an SM-ChiP package provide superior
density and efficiency.
High density, radiation tolerant power delivery network
for NewSpace
The complete source-to-point-of-load solution comprises four
SM-ChiP modules powering advanced ASICs and FPGAs from a 100V bus:
the BCM3423, a 100V input, 300W, K=1/3 bus converter; the PRM2919,
a 33V input 200W regulator; a VTM2919 150A current multiplier with
an output of 0.8V; and a VTM2919 50A current multiplier with an
output of 3.3V.
The modules, which are manufactured in Andover, Mass., (USA) are
available in high-density SM-ChiP BGA packages. ChiPs are rated for
operation from –40 to 125°C.
