The L-Series of DC/DC converters are radiation tolerant, high reliability devices designed for moderate radiation environments such as those encountered by low earth orbit satellites and launch vehicles. For higher radiation environments, the G-Series of DC/DC converters is recommended. Features include small size, low weight and a high tolerance to total ionizing dose, single event effects and environmental stresses such as temperature extremes, mechanical shock, and vibration. All components are fully derated to meet the requirements of MIL-STD-975 and MIL-STD-1547 and GSFC PPL-21 Appendix B. Extensive documentation including Radiation Susceptibility, Thermal Analysis, Stress Analysis and MTBF are available. The converters incorporate a fixed frequency single forward topology with magnetic feedback and an internal EMI filter. These converters are capable of meeting the conducted emissions and conducted susceptibility requirements of MIL-STD-461C without any additional components. All models include an external inhibit port and have an adjustable output voltage. They are enclosed in a hermetic 1.5" x 2.3" x 0.425" steel package and weigh less than 85 grams. The package utilizes rugged ceramic feed-through copper core pins and is sealed using parallel seam welding. Full environmental screening includes temperature cycling, constant acceleration, fine and gross leak, and burn-in. |
