The Gaia Converter MPGS-14 point-of-load non-isolated buck type power modules are for demanding electronic systems -- especially in defense, aerospace, and rugged industrial environments.

Summary points:

  • Gaia Converter debuts MPGS-14 power modules optimized for defense, aerospace, and rugged industrial systems, offering efficient local voltage conversion from 4.75 to 36 volts input.
  • High-performance design delivers up to 260 Watts and 97 percent efficiency with fast transient response, external synchronization, and multiple protection features.
  • Built for demanding environments, the modules meet Mil-STD-704, Mil-STD-1275, Mil-STD-461, and DO-160 standards; and operate reliably in temperatures from -40 to 105 degrees Celsius.

LE HAILLAN, France – Gaia Converter in Le Haillan, France, is introducing the MPGS-14 point-of-load non-isolated buck type power modules for demanding electronic systems, especially in defense, aerospace, and rugged industrial environments.

The DC-DC converter power module is for local voltage conversion and can be used alone or together with isolated DC-DC converters as part of a efficient larger distributed power system.

With a permanent ultra wide input voltage range of 4.75 to 36 volts, these power modules are optimized for low voltage point of load applications with adjustable output from 1.2 to 24 volts DC.

Meeting mil-specs

The mil-spec modules offer high-efficiency synchronous rectification and fast transient response. The MPGS-14 modules measure 1 by 0.8 by 0.3 inches, and offer nominal outpower of 3.3 volts.

The modules offer nominal output current to 14 amps; output power to 260 Watts; 97 percent efficiency; programmable output power; adjustable soft start; fast output voltage tracking; external synchronization; paralleling function; over current protection; and over temperature protection.

The modules are designed to meet key avionics/defense performance specifications for bus input compatibility, EMI/RFI requirements, severe environments and operating temperatures of -40 to 105 degrees Celsius.

The power electronics devices also comply with Mil-STD-704; Mil-STD-1275; Mil-STD-461; and DO 160. For more information contact Gaia Converter online at www.gaia-converter.com/products/mpgs-14a.
