Additional VPT Modules Now Included on DSCC Standard Microcircuit Drawings


DVFL Modules Now Approved As Standard Product Options for Avionics, Military and Space Programs

BLACKSBURG, VA, November 5, 2007 - VPT Inc., the innovative leader in providing power handling products, announced today that the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) has issued new Standard Microcircuit Drawings (SMDs) for its family of DVFL 120 watt DC-DC power converters. This designation simplifies the procurement of high reliability DC-DC converters for Department of Defense (DoD) programs specifying avionics, military, and space qualified components.

"With these DSCC SMD designations, engineers can now procure these military qualified DC-DC converters faster and more affordably than before," explained Michael J. Bosmann, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for VPT. "These seven models join our ever-expanding line of DC-DC converters now available on DSCC SMDs, and will offer our customers high reliability DSCC SMD solutions from very low power to several hundred watts of power through the parallel function incorporated into these devices".

The VPT products now on the DSCC SMDs are:

The DVFL Series of DC-DC converters delivers up to 120W of output power from a single module, saving significant board space and weight. The Series features single and dual output modules, a wide 16V to 40V voltage input range, and full power operation over the full specified military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

A Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD) is a document that depicts the Government's requirements for an existing commercial microcircuit, tested for a military application. An SMD discloses applicable configuration, envelope dimensions, mounting and mating dimensions, interface dimensional characteristics, specified performance requirements, and inspection and acceptance test requirements as appropriate for a military environment. SMDs cover off-the-shelf high-reliability microcircuits targeted for military applications, using only one standardized document. The SMD program increases the manufacturing base for DoD procurement and provides substantial savings in both acquisition and logistics.
