The CPPA (Coordinated Parts Procurement Agency) is responsible for the engineering, testing and procurement of the EEE parts of a certain space mission. This structure has a dedicated contractual framework designed for the Users´ benefits
In order to evaluate the effects of certain stress sources related to space applications, a set of electrical parameters are measured during the process. Here are presented the typically used ones for operational amplifiers.
Produced and tested on the same line as Q-tech most stringent space qualified oscillators, the parts proposed for LEO applications, QT780 SERIES, QT723 SERIES, QT735 SERIES are made with the same Q-Tech quality and reliability
Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) have the advantage of high efficiency compared to traditional low-dropout (LDO) regulators. Due to its switching nature, an SMPS emits noise at its switching frequency and its harmonics. This article illustrates the procedure of designing filtering to achieve ultra-low output voltage noise with SMPS regulators.
Power protection is like insurance: You pay for it, yet hope you don’t need it. But it’s not a simple “purchase.” The first protection question is, “What am I seeking to protected, and against what event(s)?” The answer is two-fold: the supply and its components need protection from load faults, while the load needs protection against supply faults.
The video shows how Kemet’s KC-LINK capacitors are tested for ripple current rating and ESR. These surface mount capacitors are designed to meet the growing demand for fast-switching wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors that operate at higher voltages, temperatures, and frequencies.
