VPT - RAD HARD Point-of-Load Converter now available through Advanced Power Components

The SVGA Series is the latest addition to VPT’s existing line of certified space DC-DC converters. The SVGA steps down the voltage at the point of use in a distributed power system and is optimised for today’s digital electronics. Characterised to 100krad (Si) total dose radiation under VPT’s certified radiation programme per MIL-PRF-38534, Appendix G, the SVGA Series is optimised for reliable performance in deep space missions, satellite applications, space station initiatives and any ultra reliable application in a space environment. Operating at a nominal frequency of 250 kHz, with high efficiency synchronous rectification and fast transient response, these regulated non-isolated converters serve low voltage point-of-load applications such as ASICs, processors and other digital electronics.

Particular product features include: high power density of >100W/in3, operation from a wide 3.5V to 7.0V input voltage and adjustable output voltage from 0.8V to 3.4V. The SVGA Series also supplies up to 10 amps or 33 watts output power and an extremely high efficiency of up to 94%.
