TeleDevices - Model ALQ-184 PS -Low Voltage Power Supply System (LVPS)
TeleDevices, LLC, under terms of the contract awarded by the US Air Force, was tasked to design, build and become qualified manufacturer of Low Voltage Power Supply (LVPS) used on the AN/ALQ-184 Electronic Attack (EA) Pod, which provides primary self-defense against enemy radar-guided air defense systems for the A-10 and F-16 aircrafts. This switch-mode, high-efficiency power supply provided +5.2VDC, +64VDC, and +15/ 15 VDC outputs IAW the specifications provided.
TDL was tasked to design, reverse engineer, and build functional, flight - worthy prototypes, perform integration and testing to meet the same form, fit, and functional compatibility with the original unit. TDL engineers used a modular approach to design the high efficiency LVPS where use of a backplane eliminated all the wiring. Planar transformers were implemented to improve reliability and manufacturability. Modular design of this switched mode power supply also made manufacturing as well as repairs and maintenance easier. Modular design with backplane resulted in improved reliability, maintainability, and testability.
