About

The PCDU NANO is EREMS’s power conditioning and distribution unit designed for nano-satellite missions from 6U to 27U. It uses a modular architecture built from four main module types (MPPT, DET, distribution, and 28V conversion/distribution) so a mission can be rapidly configured for its power budget. Each module integrates a SAM3X microcontroller from Microchip.
