Space Power Conversion Electronics (SPCE)

Abstract

The Space Power Conversion Electronics (SPCE) program is developing highly-efficient, radiation-tolerant point of load (POL) converters for low-earth-orbit satellites. In today's space power systems, POL converters derate their operating voltage to maintain radiation tolerance, resulting in decreased efficiency and limiting the satellite's available power, capabilities, and battery lifetime. To address this deficiency, SPCE will develop high-performance, radiation-tolerant high voltage switches by exploiting advanced wide-bandgap semiconductor advanced material synthesis, novel device architectures, and 3D heterogeneous integration technology.
