Flight control actuators powered by ternary stages — safety through the neutral state.
What It IS
Technical VisionThe architectural essence — what makes this technology work
An aircraft control surface — an aileron, an elevator — driven by a ternary power stage where the neutral state provides certified fail-safe isolation. Triple-redundant ternary stages guarantee that no single failure produces uncommanded movement. Safety in flight through three states.
Abstract
High-efficiency power conversion for aircraft APU using ternary switching with DO-178C compliance, reducing onboard electrical losses.
