20-amp radiation-tolerant point-of-load converter for satellite processing introduced by 3D PLUS
Summary points:
- 3D PLUS introduces the 3DPM0602 20-amp point-of-load converter to support advanced FPGAs and microprocessors in space applications.
- The synchronous buck converter delivers 0.8 to 3.3-volt output from a 4.6–13.2-volt input, with built-in short-circuit, undervoltage, and thermal protections.
- The device withstands as much as 50 krad total ionizing dose and offers single-event upset resistance to 62.5 MeV·cm²/mg, making it suitable for demanding space applications.
BUC, France – 3D PLUS in Buc, France, is introducing is introducing the 3DPM0602 20-amp radiation-tolerant point-of-load converter to meet power demands of modern field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and microprocessors for space applications.
The radiation-tolerant 3DPM0602 is an integrated synchronous buck POL module with Input: 4.6 to 13.2 volts of input; 0.8 to 3.3 volts of output at 20 amps; short-circuit protection; input under-voltage protection (UVP); and thermal shutdown.
The 3DPM0602 measures 30 by 30 by 8 millimeters, including internal input and output filtering, and is designed for precise regulation during rapid load variations typical of high-speed digital processors.
These space power electronics devices resist total-dose radiation of 50 kilorads, and offers single-event upset radiation resistance to LET 62.5MeV-cm²/mg.
