The SVLFL Series of space-qualified DC-DC converters is specifically designed for the harsh radiation environment of space applications. Performance is guaranteed through the use of hardened semiconductor components, radiation lot acceptance testing (RLAT) of non-hardened components, and analysis. The SVLFL Series has been characterized for Total Ionizing Dose (TID) performance including Enhanced Low Dose Rate Sensitivity (ELDRS) and for Single Event Effects (SEE) according to VPT’s DLA-approved Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) plan per MIL-PRF-38534, Appendix G, Level L. Characterization is performed at both the component level and at the SVLFL Series hybrid converter level.
Radiation-hardened to TID levels of 60 krad(Si) and SEE to 85 MeV/mg/cm2, the SVLFL Series of DC-DC converters is suited for use in many low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), geostationary orbit (GEO), deep space, and launch vehicle programs.
