VPT Launched FLX Series DC-DC Converter Platform
The new modular platform offers configurable power options for demanding military and aerospace applications.
Updated on Sept. 30, 2026 in Semiconductors
VPT has introduced the FLX Series, a configurable DC-DC converter platform designed to consolidate converter modules and EMI filters into a single housing. This modular approach aims to simplify the development process for complex aerospace and military systems.
Why it matters
The platform serves to lower bill-of-materials complexity and reduce qualification overhead for engineers working on high-stakes military and aerospace programs. By providing a scalable framework, it allows for greater flexibility in design without sacrificing performance.
The FLX Series supports 28 V, 50 V, and 270 V input buses with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 110°C. Radiation-tolerant models reach 30 krad(Si), while radiation-hardened variants are rated to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose.
The players
VPT
VPT is a provider of power conversion solutions for the aerospace, military, and space industries.
The details
The system utilizes a modular framework that supports vertical, horizontal, and stacked mechanical arrangements to suit various space constraints. This enables developers to combine multiple output voltages and power levels within one integrated enclosure.
Timeline
VPT launched the FLX Series on September 30, 2026.
The Tech Race
The transition toward highly integrated power modules follows the industry effort to meet strict MIL-STD-461 EMI compliance standards in smaller footprints. This product positions VPT against competitors currently offering discrete converter components that require more complex system-level filtering.
Engineers and system developers can expect to see reduced hardware integration times and lower bill-of-materials management requirements. The platform provides a streamlined path for incorporating power management in critical space and defense infrastructure.
The takeaway
The move toward configurable, all-in-one power solutions reflects a broader industry shift toward modularity in mission-critical hardware. Developers can leverage these platforms to minimize design complexity while ensuring compliance with rigorous aerospace thermal and radiation standards.
