First Aerospace-qualified Baseless Power Module Family from Microchip Technology Improves Aircraft Electrical System Efficiency
August 4, 2021 GMT
CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 4, 2021--
In the race to reduce aircraft emissions, developers increasingly are moving toward more efficient designs including electrical systems that replace today’s pneumatics and hydraulics powering everything from on-board alternators to actuators and Auxiliary Power Units (APUs). To enable next-generation aircraft electrical systems, new power conversion technology is required. Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced its development with Clean Sky, a joint European Commission (EC) and industry consortium, of the first aerospace-qualified baseless power modules enabling higher-efficiency, lighter and more compact power conversion and motor drive systems.
