Space Power Conversion Electronics (SPCE)*
Abstract
*Previously part of Next Generation Microelectronics - Extreme Environment Electronics The Space Power Conversion Electronics (SPCE) program is developing highly efficient, radiation 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 radiation-tolerant high voltage switches by exploiting advanced wide-bandgap semiconductor advance material synthesis, novel device architectures, and 3D heterogeneous integration technology.
