Pico Electronics was recently asked to design a highly reliable, high voltage miniature DC/DC converter module for a space application. Using the company's expertise, they were able to reduce the size and weight without compromising the converter's reliability in these extreme environmental conditions.

With the successful design and test criteria completed, Pico is now offering this design as a standard product: AVP/AVN series. With output voltages to 10,000VDC at 1.25W in a miniature 2.54x1.27x1.27cm (1.0x0.5x0.5") package that weighs only 9.5g, the DC/DC converter is available with five standard input voltages and either positive or negative output models standard.

This series, as with all Pico products, is available with an extended operating temperature range from -55 to +85°C (ambient) with no heat sink or electrical de-rating required. We offer selected MIL-STD-883 environmental screening and would also review any specific requirements you might have to comply with. Being a U.S. manufacturer, we can also offer custom modifications, if required, to optimise your design and deliver, typically, in 2-4 weeks.
