Space Systems – DC-DC

Power supplies used in harsh environments, such as space, high-altitude flight, or high-reliability military applications must be resistant to damage or malfunctions caused by ionizing radiation.

Rad Hard GaN enables power converters operating at higher frequencies, higher efficiencies, and greater power densities for Micro, LEO, GEO satellites, along with deep space and outer space explorations

Why GaN?

Features

  • Proven Reliability
  • No parasitic p-n junction diode
  • High-frequency switching
  • Higher power system efficiency
  • Smaller footprint

Benefits

  • Reduce system size and weight
  • Higher frequency communications
  • Eliminate shielding
  • Eliminate solar panels
  • Extend the life of satellite
