LDC200 Series
- Category DC to DC Converters
- Type Rugged Environment 28V Converters
- Power 200 Watts
The LDC200 series is a high‑efficiency, compact 200W single‑output DC‑DC converter accepting the MIL‑STD‑704 28 VDC bus (18–36V) for rugged, mission‑critical environments. With ±0.1% regulation, high efficiency, and very fast transient response, LDC200 can be deployed as a stable intermediate/distribution bus or point‑of‑load converter for sensitive electronics and pulsed/high dI/dt demand. The unit is designed to meet MIL‑STD‑461 EMI/EMC and MIL‑STD‑810 environmental requirements in an all‑in‑one package. Standard outputs: 3.3 to 28 VDC.
This unit is Factory Configurable both electrically and mechanically to best fit your application.

- TEMPERATURE (STORAGE)-50°C to +100°C
- TEMPERATURE (OPERATING)-40°C to +85°C baseplate with no power derating
- CIRCUIT PROTECTIONEach unit is completely protected against a short circuit or overload of any duration. The current limit is nominally set at 120% of full load. The output voltage automatically restores to normal when the short is removed.
- INPUT PROTECTIONOver-voltage continued operation up to 80 VDC transients (MIL-STD-704), under-voltage shutdown (holdup option available separately).
- OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTIONOver-temperature shutdown +110°C±5°C, typical
- REMOTE SENSINGCompensates for voltage drop up to limits of input power. Unit operates at nominal voltage with sense lines disconnected.
- CAPACITIVE LOADINGOutput load capacitance is unlimited.
- CONTROL FEATURESON/OFF “INHIBIT” - Short inhibit lines together, or apply TTL LOW from +INHIBIT to -INHIBIT.

Fast, Stable Power for Mission Critical Loads
Low droop + fast recovery during high dI/dt load steps helps keep downstream electronics in regulation (reset immunity, tighter voltage margin).
Ideal for loads with large, fast current steps, such as Pulsed RF front ends (radar/EW, active antennas, T/R modules), software-defined radios, mission/AI compute nodes (CPU/FPGA/GPU), networked communications, and sensor processing where transient stability drives filtering size, architecture complexity, and qualification risk.
