Demonstrates immunity to 50krad Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and Single Event Upset (SEU)

Vicor Corporation (Headquarters: Massachusetts, USA, CEO: Patrizio Vinciarelli, NASDAQ listing: VICR, hereafter: Vicor) announced the company's first radiation-tolerant DC-DC converter power module. This power module is Vicor's latest SM-ChiP™ package, capable of delivering up to 300 Watts of power from a 100V input supply to a low voltage ASIC. Boeing tests demonstrate that the SM-ChiP can withstand a total ionizing dose (TID) of 50 krad and a single event upset (SEU).

Modern satellite communications demand high power density and low noise. Vicor's converters are soft-switching, high-frequency ZCS/ZVS power conversion stages housed in metal-shielded packages to lower the noise floor of power systems. This ensures signal integrity and overall system performance with the high reliability you need. Combining these four products, we have realized a power supply of 0.8V (150A) and 3.4V (50A) for ASIC with a minimum solution from a high voltage of 100V input.

*TID (Total Ionizing Dose) = absorbed dose

*SEU (Single Event Upset) = A soft error caused by ionizing radiation striking a storage element such as a configuration memory cell, user memory, or register, causing the charge within to discharge.
