High-Rel Power Portfolio Built for Harsh Environments
GAIA Converter updated its portfolio of high-reliability power solutions for harsh and mission-critical environments. Applications range from military, aerospace, and avionics to rugged industrial and embedded applications.
The HGMM-350 family of non-isolated AC-DC power-factor-corrected modules offers high-reliability AC-DC performance, ensuring clean, regulated power that meets the stringent harmonic distortion and transient requirements of DO-160, MIL-STD-704, and ABD100 standards.
The MGDM-500/P is a parallel option for the MGDM500 series, optimizing power architecture scalability and enabling users to reach 3 kW while maintaining high efficiency and reliability. The PSDG-48 is an integrated commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), multi-output, 48-W isolated power supply targeting 24- and 28-V DC military and high-reliability applications. And the MGDS300S extends the output power and output voltage range of the MGDS family of high-density, wide-input DC-DC converters.
The Gaia Converter GRD Series of configurable, military-grade bCOTS power supplies includes the GRD-12, a fully configurable reference design board based on the latest GAIA Converter COTS modules. It's capable of delivering up to 120 W across 3 main output channels and 2 auxiliary channels.
The GRD-40 family of 400-W, low-profile, military-grade COTS power supplies includes EMI filters, reverse-polarity protection, an inrush current limiter, and an input surge limiter. In addition, the GRD-50 series of scalable 500-W integrated power supplies shows how COTS board power supplies optimized for 24- and 28-V DC input systems can address defense and aerospace applications.
