Simplifying Power Design with Modular Architectures

The design of complex, high-power DC-to-DC converter architectures poses some challenges to engineers developing aerospace and military-grade power systems. DC-DC converters must comply with multiple standards and stringent requirements in terms of input voltage, EMI (electromagnetic interference) environmental conditions, and thermal management.

A modular approach can significantly simplify the design process, enabling engineers to design complex power conversion systems using COTS and SWaP-C optimized building blocks. Engineers can meet multiple industry standards and power requirements while optimizing their power architectures according to new industry standards such as the Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA).
