The SA series of DC-DC converters is available in both triple and single outputs. These devices are designed and qualified for the rigors of space including characterization for both Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and Single Event Effects (SEE). Operating at a fixed frequency of 220 kHz, the SA family of parts can be externally synced with other frequency sources.

SA50-120, SA50-28 and SA15-28

Our SA family of radiation-hardened (rad-hard) DC-DC power converters feature surface-mount component construction to deliver the flexibility and customization necessary to meet your specific application requirements. Available in standard non-hybrid, space-grade configurations with 15W and 50W options, these devices are qualified to MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-883 and MIL-STD-202 standards. They allow you to leverage proven Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) technology for rapid development, minimized risk and reduced time to market.

Radiation-Hardened Isolated DC-DC Converters


Key Benefits


SA15 Power Converters

  • Utilize 28V input and offer up to 15W of output in a low-profile and smaller-sized solution
  • Triple outputs to target EMI-compliant and radiation-hardened designs for deep space applications
  • Flyback topology with inherent single-event immunity
  • High-efficiency, flight-proven technology with more than thirty-nine million hours Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) 
  • Compatible with SF100 and SF200 external EMI filters

SA50 Power Converters

  • Utilize 28V and 120V input and offer up to 50W of output in a low-profile, small-sized solution
