The accelerating deployment of large constellations of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, CubeSats and nanosats is transforming how the space industry looks at its supply chain and component reliability requirements.
Nominated as a market leader for space applications, Microchip have more than 60 years of flight heritage, strong radiation expertise and a recognized, qualified portfolio. They also deliver a wide range of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) solutions that target the industrial and automotive markets.
Their New Space offering consists of sub-QML devices and high-volume COTS products that we are continuously upgrading.
Radiation-Tolerant Isolated DC-DC Converters
The Low Earth Orbit (LEO) market is rapidly growing as private and public entities explore New Space; the exploration of New Space requires everything from 5G communication and cube satellites to IoT applications. There is an increased demand for standard space-grade solutions that are reliable, cost effective and configurable. To meet this market need, Microchip have designed a radiation-tolerant LE50-28 series of isolated DC-DC converters. These devices are off-the-shelf 50W power converters available in nine variants with single and triple outputs that range from 3.3V to 28V.
The current market contains either commercial power converters that are not radiation tolerant, which poses a great risk to the satellite mission life, or expensive radiation-hardened power converters. The LE50 fills the gap between these two by offering a cost-effective radiation-tolerant solution for satellite missions.
