The MG245x product family claims world-class performance, with the highest Tx power, highest Rx sensitivity, high datarates and low power consumption compared with existing ZigBee chip offerings.
The series offers a high reliability COTS power solution designed for rugged military and avionics applications.
The VPTPCM-12 is available off the shelf and features: continuous operation with input down to 6V per MIL-STD-1275; a wide input range that provides dual nominal input voltages (12 and 28V) to satisfy both MIL-STD-1275 and MIL-STD-704 requirements; transient suppression up to 600V DC; and up to 120W output power from a single unit.
The module operates over a wide temperature range from -55 to +100C with no power derating, and provides high efficiency, up to 99%.
It has a six-sided metal case for rugged environments, with an overall outline of 60 x 40 x 12mm and weight of 90g.
According to Michael J Bosmann, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for VPT: "In a critical application such as a military tank the VPTPCM-12 preconditioning module helps protect against power spikes or dropouts".
"This ensures that devices, such as optical systems, stay up and running to protect lives in battlefield conditions".
