9-45V & 16-80V input range, 150W DC-DC converters now in a 1/4 brick package

Gaia Converter is introducing this uniquely compact 150W DC-DC Converter family targeting Defense, Airborne as well as High end industrial applications:
The new MGDS-155 Series 9-45V and 16-80V input voltage range makes it ideal for all Defense and Airborne applications with wide input bus and transients variations: Compliance with Mil-Std-1275, 704 or DO-160 can be achieved without transient protection thanks to their input ability of up to 50V/100ms and 100V/100ms respectively while keeping efficiency as high as 92%. This unique performance is achieved thanks to Gaia’s proprietary switching techniques.

These DC-DC converters are full featured and available with 5V, 12V, 15V, 24V or 28V output, additional features include the ability to be synchronized for better EMI control, and a full set of protections: under voltage lockout, over voltage protection, current limit & over temperature protection, and all units are permanently short circuit proof. Such high performances has been packed in the industry standard 1/4 brick package to help minimize size, weight and power but are still able to perform from -55°C to +105°C case temperature without derating to fit the most rugged environmental conditions.

DO-160, Mil-Std-461/704/1275 or equivalent compliant systems can be obtained by pairing this MGDS-155 with Gaia’s complete line of EMI filters, Holdup modules and DC/DC converters for a complete power architecture up to 300W or more.

About GAIA Converter : 

Gaia Converter was created in the early 1990’s. Since that time the company has developed one of the most comprehensive ranges of modular power components in the electronics market place. Gaia Converter also brought to the market its now well established concept of Modular Power Architecture simplifying the design of complex power supplies. With more than 3500 standard power component references serving the industrial, transportation, aerospace and military markets, Gaia Converter is recognised as one of the world leaders of “power module” solutions. www.gaia-converter.com

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
