As aircraft become more electric, power electronic solutions are increasing in importance. Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are being replaced with more sustainable electronic alternatives which offer significant advantages including lower weight, less maintenance and increased reliability. Furthermore, gains can be achieved in operational efficiencies as electrical systems offer more options for re-configurability and solutions can be developed for use within various aircraft functions. This paper presents a Hybrid Power Drive integrated power module for increased sustainability in aircraft systems. Developed by Microchip, it primarily drives various electrical motors, and yet, can be customized to meet specific customer requirements. This flexible solution can accommodate a wide range of commercial aviation actuation systems. The necessity for fully custom products is therefore reduced, providing a more sustainable solution for the next generation of aircraft.
