Electromagnetic emanations represent a significant potential vector of attack for FPGA designs carrying critical program information or other sensitive data or algorithms. The effort proposed here will implement and study a technique designed to dramatically limit the EM emanations from FPGAs, via a methodology that will not functionally alter target designs, and naturally lends itself to seamless ...

Recognizing the mission strategic importance of a compact, rad-hard, highly efficient battery management system, Arkansas Power Electronics International, Inc. (APEI, Inc.) is proposing to develop the next generation of rad-hard battery management power converters. This new generation of battery management converters will harness the extreme radiation-hardness of silicon carbide (SiC) junction fi ...

Power electronic converters are essential in every MDA vehicle, with use in critical systems ranging from electric power management applications, to power distribution, to on-board servo motor/actuator drivers. Advancing state-of-the-art power electronics technologies through the use of SiC semiconductors will produce significant savings across the board in almost all areas of MDA power management ...
