The design of complex, high-power DC-to-DC converter architectures poses some challenges to engineers developing aerospace and military-grade power systems. DC-DC converters must comply with multiple standards and stringent requirements in terms of input voltage, EMI (electromagnetic interference) environmental conditions, and thermal management.

A modular approach can significantly simplify the design process, enabling engineers to design
complex power conversion systems using COTS and SWaP-C optimized building blocks. Engineers
can meet multiple industry standards and power requirements while optimizing their power
architectures according to new industry standards such as the Sensor Open System Architecture
(SOSA).

This article looks at how a flexible modular power architecture can help address these challenges
