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.
