intDrive™ Integrated Actuation Power Solution

Hybrid Power Drive Modules and Companion Gate Driver Card Help Reduce Emissions in Aerospace Designs

Redesigning the actuation systems used in aircraft is a focal point for reducing the emissions in aerospace applications. Designers are looking for effective power drive electronics to replace the Electro-Hydraulic Actuators (EHAs) and Electromechanical Actuators (EMAs) used in flight control, landing gear and braking systems. For defense applications, these solutions need to be durable, rugged, compact and modular with the ability to perform in harsh environments for prolonged periods of time.

Our cost-effective, plug-and-play Integrated Actuation Power Solution combines a Hybrid Power Drive (HPD) and a compatible driver board that provides intelligence, scalability, design flexibility, reliability, faster time to market and high power density for aircraft power system applications in More Electric Aircraft (MEA), cargo planes, small planes, defense avionics, electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, drones and multicopters.
