Power Control Unit for Micro Satellite

ASTREX CORPORATION

<Outline>
 AXPHDY-PCU is a power control device optimum for micro satellites, which requires up to 200W of power, combines the battery control and the control of power generation from solar panels.
 It is equipped with automatic MPPT control by analog circuit configuration that is conscious of radiation resistance, and has the function of monitoring voltage, current, and temperature. 
 In addition, PCUs can be controlled from OBCs (On Board Computers)via RS422/485.
 The digital control unit and the analog control unit are characterized by high noise resistance performance, with the GND isolated by the isolation circuit.

<Features>
◆ Automatic power supply function by analog timer for radio and OBC.
◆ Battery overcharge protection
◆ UVC/overcurrent trip control function for connected devices
◆ OBC telecommunication function in RS422/485 (commands reception & control, and telemetry transmission)
◆ Fully electrically isolated configuration of the analog and digital sections
