Description

Since more than a decade, Thales Alenia Space in Belgium is investing in a growing portfolio of RadHard ASICs with the Digital Programmable Controller as a flagship paving the way to other ASICs.
The brand new High Speed Controller, the” Swiss Knife for DCDC converters”, contains an innovative regulation , the Peak & Valley Current Control (PVCC)

In the frame of a growing Rad Hard ASIC portfolio, a new branch of activities is now focused on GaN integrated circuit for power (Please refer to another dedicated AMICSA presentation from M. Fossion et al. , these 3 technologies (high bandwidth analog regulation + digital power management + GaN-ICs), constitute a key chipset leading to a complete breakthrough in dc-dc converters.
These key developments are made possible thanks to Multidomain skills in TAS B, an efficient network of innovative partners, a fruitful collaboration with ESA experts and a strong support from Belgian Delegation.
