About
The Nanosatellite Attitude Control unit is a 2-channel PWM driver board designed for controlling external magnetic coils integrated into the solar panels of nanosatellites. It generates independent PWM signals for two axes, supports connection of up to 4 magnetic coils in solar panels, and features 8-bit PWM resolution at 30–30,000 Hz with up to 3 A per channel and 3 W peak power. Available with PC104 or original bus interface. Released in 2016 with a 6-month delivery time.
