To satisfy these goals, aviation power systems developers are transitioning to electric actuation systems as the trend towards More Electric Aircraft (MEA) continues to grow.

Key Points: 
  • To satisfy these goals, aviation power systems developers are transitioning to electric actuation systems as the trend towards More Electric Aircraft (MEA) continues to grow.
  • To provide the aviation industry with a comprehensive electric actuation solution, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces a new integrated actuation power solution that combines companion gate driver boards with our expansive Hybrid Power Drive (HPD) modules in silicon carbide or silicon technology with a power range of 5 kVA to 20 kVA.
  • The new integrated actuation power solution maintains the same footprint regardless of the power output.
  • Microchip’s power solutions are designed to scale based on the requirements of the end application, from smaller actuation systems for drones to high-power actuation systems for Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, MEA and all-electric aircraft.
