These high-reliability power electronics devices meet key avionics and defense performance specifications for bus input compatibility.

LE HAILLAN, France – Gaia Converter in Le Haillan, France, is introducing the MGDS-500 mil-spec DC-DC power modules for aerospace, military, and high-end industrial applications.

These power supplies offer 500 Watts of output power, and are suitable for ultra-compact power supply design.

These high-reliability power electronics devices meet key avionics and defense performance specifications for bus input compatibility, and electro-magnetic interference and radio frequency interference requirements.

These DC-DC converters operate in harsh environments, and in temperatures from -40 to 105 degrees Celsius. The devices meet Mil-STD-704; Mil-STD-1275; Mil-STD-461; and DO-160.

Standard models are available with input voltage ranges of 9 to 36 volts, and provide output voltages of 12, 15, 24, 28, and 48 volts DC.

The MGDS series uses a patented fixed switching topology to provide a wide input range, low noise characteristics and high power density. The synchronization function enables more than one converter to operate with an external source frequency.

All modules are designed with LC network filters to minimize reflected input current ripple and output voltage ripple. The modules have independent security functions including input under voltage lock-out, output overvoltage protection, output current limitation protection, and temperature protection.

A soft-start function allows current limitation and eliminates inrush current during start-up. For more information contact Gaia Converter online at https://gaia-converter.com.
