    Gaia Converter's compact 150W converter family targets mil/aero and high-end industrial apps

    07/02/2015

    Gaia Converter is introducing a novel compact 150W DC/DC Converter family targeting Defense, Airborne as well as High end industrial applications. The new MGDS-155 Series 9-45V and 16-80V input voltage range makes it ideal for all Defense and Airborne applications with wide input bus and transients variations: Compliance with Mil-Std-1275, 704 or DO-160 can be achieved without transient protection thanks to their input ability of up to 50V/100ms and 100V/100ms respectively while keeping efficiency as high as 92%. This unique performance is achieved thanks to Gaia's proprietary switching techniques.

    These DC/DC converters are full featured and available with 5V, 12V, 15V, 24V or 28V output, additional features include the ability to be synchronized for better EMI control, and a full set of protections: under voltage lockout, over voltage protection, current limit & over temperature protection, and all units are permanently short circuit proof. Such high performances has been packed in the industry standard 1/4 brick package to help minimize size, weight and power but are still able to perform from -55°C to +105°C case temperature without derating to fit the most rugged environmental conditions.

    DO-160, Mil-Std-461/704/1275 or equivalent compliant systems can be obtained by pairing this MGDS-155 with Gaia's complete line of EMI filters, Holdup modules and DC/DC converters for a complete power architecture up to 300W or more.
