Microchip’s POL-05-20S-T GaN point-of-load converter delivers up to 20 A for FPGAs, microcontrollers, and ASICs while maintaining specifications through 50 krad(Si) and characterizing single-event effects to 43 MeV·cm²/mg. This directly improves the probability that lunar-ark computing, power management, and autonomous-control systems remain operational under radiation exposure.[3]
