VPT, a global leader in providing power conversion solutions for use in avionics, military, space, and industrial applications, has announced the release of the SLNP17-100CQ, its first DC-DC power supply with extremely quiet and low noise outputs (<0.25 mV). Through a multi-stage approach, this converter demonstrates an exceptional rejection of noise for both conducted emissions and conducted susceptibility and is designed specifically for noise-sensitive RF space applications.

This quad-output solution equipped with an integrated EMI filter, delivers up to 17 watts of power and is highly configurable with four outputs: +5 V to +8 V, +5 V to +8 V, +12 V, and -6 V to -5 V. With eleven configurable SLNP17-100CQ DC-DC Converter options, the SLNP17-100CQ was designed with customization at top of mind and is optimal for RF space applications that demand precision and reliability.

Built to withstand harsh radiation environments, the SLNP17-100CQ is ideal for the most demanding commercial, scientific, and military space applications. As a space-qualified product, the SLNP17-100CQ guarantees TID performance to 100 krad(Si) and SEE performance to 85 MeV/mg/cm². Ruggedized for long-term mission space applications - this power supply is well-suited for GEO orbit missions and designed to meet most 100 V bus specifications.

“The SLNP17-100CQ was designed from the very beginning to provide extremely low noise outputs for sensitive RF applications,” VPT’s Space Product Development Manager, Kevin Seaton, said, “while being highly configurable using only a single qualified PCB to meet most spacecraft bus and loading needs.”
