BLACKSBURG, Virginia,
Dec. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- VPT,
Inc., a HEICO company (NYSE:HEI.A) (NYSE:HEI), today announced that
its GaN-based SGRB series of DC-DC converters has earned the
Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards Platinum
recognition, its highest honor. This distinction recognizes
companies in the aerospace and defense electronics industries who
have made groundbreaking contributions and innovative solutions to
solve design challenges.
The SGRB series of DC-DC converters are specifically designed
for the harsh radiation environments of space applications. Using
advanced GaN-based technology, the SGRB series was developed to
provide a solution that increases power supply efficiency,
resulting in reduced system size, weight, and cost. With up to 95%
efficiency, the GaN technology results in greater efficiency
compared to traditional radiation hardened silicon products. It has
been designed specifically for space-borne telecommunications where
high efficiency, low noise, and radiation tolerance are
imperative.
"We are honored that our SGRB series has been recognized with
the platinum level award by the Military & Aerospace
Electronics Innovators Awards judges," said Jeremy Ferrell, Director of Engineering at VPT.
"We appreciate the recognition of the work we put into developing
this innovative GaN-based DC-DC converter for space
applications."
