Description

The PROMISE Design Standard and Library is currently being used (and expanded) to develop a very high efficiency, low voltage, high current DC-DC power converter, based on a novel architecture of control, which allows it to be flexible and reconfigurable as a function of application and fault tolerance requirements. This Scalable power source controller IC ( SCOPS) is targeted for use in space and satellite applications which require a robust power supply that can deliver the consistent low voltage and high current that is required to drive advanced electronic technologies, all of which are tending towards low voltage operation but which also exhibit very high currents as a function of the numbers of transistors being deployed.
