Space Power Supplies
Assemblies of Hybrid Modules
Overview
Hybrid DC/DC converter modules dominate the design of current spacecraft power supplies.
The reasons for this are:
- Hybrid DC/DC Converter Modules reduce size, weight and development cost
- Hybrid DC/DC Converter Modules cut design and manufacturing time
- Most customers do not have the specialized staff to design, analyze and manufacture
the equivalent module function in house.
Standard catalog listed hybrid DC/DC converters satisfy many space applications. However,
they can be a problem for some applications, either because the program has special
requirements or the module manufacturers will neither give full design disclosure nor
make design driven changes within the module.
MDI is a unique supplier of space power supplies because MDI not only manufactures state
of the art hybrid DC/DC converter modules, but MDI also integrates these modules into
space worthy power supply systems. MDI believes in an open design disclosure philosophy
and will customize the modules for its customers. MDI is the best choice for both modules
and complete space power supplies.
