Motion Control Solutions
PDC is a leading supplier of space qualified SBCs and radiation hardened components. Utilizing multiple radiation hardening techniques, PDC's space solutions incorporate one or more of the following elements: RAD-PAK® technology, Rad Hard by Design, Triple Mode Redundancy (TMR), and Error-Correction Codes (ECC). PDC's space-qualified and field proven solutions are engineered for space’s extreme environmental requirements, while reducing space, weight, and power consumption, along with total cost of ownership.
Satellites & Space Systems
PDC’s core competencies and unique suite of capabilities for the production of custom solutions span every stage of development including electrical design, mechanical design, test engineering, process engineering, manufacturing, and product assurance. PDC is uniquely qualified to support a wide range of application requirements and technologies based upon our decades of experience in analog and digital microelectronics, magnetics, power supplies, and radiation mitigation technology.
Custom Solutions
PDC's 3V DC/DC Converter Series was developed to provide a range of power supplies for severe environmental applications with user specifiable outputs. 3V Series power supplies are configurable “standard” products, providing up to 4 outputs isolated from the supply (500VDC and 10Mohm), to a maximum power of 250 watts.
The input is designed with filtering to reduce EMI and to suppress or survive input transients; capable of surviving ISO 7637-2, Def Stan 61-5 part 6 issues 5 and 6, and Mil Std 1275D. Outputs 1 and 2 can be configured to customer requirements in the range of 3 to 8 volts DC, and can be specified to a maximum of 100 watts or 20 amps per output, whichever is the lesser. Outputs 3 and 4 can be configured to customer requirements in the range of 8 to 30 volts DC, and can be specified to a maximum of 84 watts or 10 amps per output, whichever is the lesser. Outputs are non isolated.
The design of the enclosure is optimized for thermal conduction and allows for easy mounting, via “wedgelock” fittings. The 3V Series power supplies can also be packaged in a machined aluminium box with a chromate coating for cold wall applications.
