The launch of Boeing\u2019s O3b mPOWER communication satellite marks a milestone for Vicor Corporation<\/a><\/strong>, whose high-performance, radiation-tolerant modules support Boeing\u2019s satellite mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing\u2019s O3b satellite will help deliver broadband internet access to the \u2018other 3 billion\u2019 (O3b) people around the globe where access is limited or nonexistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on an extensive heritage, Vicor power modules are ideally suited for powering advanced communications ASICs and FPGAs that require a very low-noise operating environment enabled by Vicor\u2019s soft-switching, high-frequency ZCS\/ZVS power stages. The thermally adept modules in an SM-ChiP package provide superior density and efficiency.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-density, radiation-tolerant power delivery network for NewSpace<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The complete source-to-point-of-load solution comprises four SM-ChiP modules powering advanced ASICs and FPGAs from a 100V bus: the BCM3423, a 100V input, 300W, K=1\/3 bus converter; the PRM2919, a 33V input 200W regulator; a VTM2919 150A current multiplier with an output of 0.8V; and a VTM2919 50A current multiplier with an output of 3.3V. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modules, which are manufactured in Andover, Mass., (USA) are available in high-density SM-ChiP BGA packages. ChiPs are rated for operation from \u201340 to 125\u00b0C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
