VPT’s new product is said to be designed with customization in mind.
BLACKSBURG, Va.—VPT, Inc., a HEICO company, introduced its first DC-DC power supply with extremely quiet and low noise outputs (<0.25 mV) that is designed specifically for noise-sensitive RF space applications, the company said in a release.
Using a multi-stage approach, the SLNP17-100CQ reportedly demonstrates an exceptional rejection of noise for conducted emissions and conducted susceptibility. The quad-output product is equipped with an integrated EMI filter and delivers up to 17 watts of power. It is highly configurable with four outputs: +5 V to +8 V, +5 V to +8 V, +12 V, and -6 V to -5 V, according to the release.
With 11 configurable options, the SLNP17-100CQ is said to have been “designed with customization at top of mind,” and is reported to be optimal for RF space applications that demand precision and reliability.
According to VPT, the SLNP17-100CQ is built to withstand harsh radiation environments, and is suitable for the most demanding commercial, scientific, and military space applications. As a space-qualified product, the SLNP17-100CQ guarantees TID performance to 100 krad(Si) and SEE performance to 85 MeV/mg/cm2. Ruggedized for long-term mission space applications, the power supply is well-suited for GEO orbit missions and designed to meet most 100V bus specifications, the company said.
“The SLNP17-100CQ was designed from the very beginning to provide extremely low noise outputs for sensitive RF applications, while being highly configurable using only a single qualified PCB to meet most spacecraft bus and loading needs,” said VPT Space Product Development Manager Kevin Seaton, in the release.
