Exploring the EPCSC401: A Radiation-Hardened GaN DC-DC Converter for Space Applications
This video explores the EPC Space EPCSC401, a radiation-tolerant GaN-based DC-DC buck converter designed for spacecraft electronics. It demonstrates how the module converts a 20–50 V spacecraft bus into a regulated 12 V output up to 5 A. The presentation explains the characterization board, GaN power stage, CERN-derived controller, thermal design, and performance measurements, highlighting efficiency, stability, and suitability for high-density space power systems.
