VPT, Inc., a HEICO company, has released its first DC-DC power supply with extremely quiet and low noise outputs (less than 0.25 mV), designed specifically for noise-sensitive radio frequency (RF) space applications. Through a multi-stage approach, the SLNP17-100CQ converter demonstrates an exceptional rejection of noise for both conducted emissions and conducted susceptibility.
This quad-output solution equipped with an integrated electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter, delivers up to 17 W of power and is highly configurable with four outputs: +5 V to +8 V, +5 V to +8 V, +12 V, and -6 V to -5 V. With eleven configurable options, the SLNP17-100CQ was designed with customization at top of mind and is optimal for RF space applications that demand precision and reliability.
Built to withstand harsh radiation environments, the SLNP17-100CQ is ideal for the most demanding commercial, scientific and military space applications. As a space-qualified product, the SLNP17-100CQ guarantees total ionizing dose (TID) performance to 100 krad(Si) and single-event effect (SEE) performance to 85 MeV/mg/cm2. Ruggedized for long-term mission space applications, this power supply is well-suited for GEO orbit missions and designed to meet most 100 V bus specifications.
“The SLNP17-100CQ was designed from the very beginning to provide extremely low noise outputs for sensitive RF applications,” VPT’s space product development manager, Kevin Seaton, said, “while being highly configurable using only a single qualified PCB to meet most spacecraft bus and loading needs.”
The SLNP17-100CQ is available for immediate sale. Sales are subject to all applicable U.S. export license restrictions and regulations.
