Radiation-hardened power switch controller for high-reliability space applications introduced by CAES
ARLINGTON, Va. – CAES in Arlington, Va., is introducing the Smart Power Switch Controller (SPSC) for power electronics designs in high-reliability space applications.
The SPSC offers extensive fault detection, isolation, and recovery capabilities in one package. The radiation-hardened device features a high level of space assurance, wide temperature range, and quick fault detection and recovery.
The Smart Power Switch Controller offers extensive fault detection, isolation and recovery capabilities in one package. The device offers PMBus, which communicates over an I2C serial bus. This two-wire command, configuration and control protocol can manage dozens of power switch channels with a small host controller.
The device is also a power bus protection device, with the ability to detect high- and short-circuit faults and isolate the circuit in 250 nanoseconds.
CAES’s radiation-hardened design techniques meet high-reliability mission profiles and can withstand harsh environments, including QML-Q and QML-V for military and space-grade qualification.
