Implications of single event effect characterization of hybrid DC-DC converters and a solid state power controller

As part of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Goddard Space Flight Center's (GSFC) efforts in supporting spaceflight qualification for multiple programs, single event effect (SEE) characterization of various DC-DC power converters as well as a solid-state power controller (SSPC) was undertaken. The implications of these test results are further discussed.
