AMPHION (am-fee-un) - Multi-purpose power

controller and circuit protective devices
• The building block to distributed aircraft power management
– Replaces relays, circuit breakers, pulsed-power controllers, and
power monitor devices.
– Remotely controllable and programmable for ideal power
management.
• Small, Cool, and Safe
– Utilizes the latest FET technology, detects arc faults, and is patented
to fail open.
Common AMPHION Features

• Every AMPHION Device:
– Acts as a circuit breaker and relay
• Combine functions on an aircraft to save cost and weight
– Has Overcurrent and Arc-Fault Protection
• Added protection against arcs which will not trip a standard circuit breaker
– Incorporates Patented “Fail-Open” Circuitry
• Most solid state power controllers fail shorted
• Amphion guarantees to interrupt power to the load in case of fault
– Monitors voltage and current
• Smart control of aircraft systems
• Predictive maintenance of other aircraft systems before a fault occurs
– Provides Programmable Over-Current and Arc-Fault Trip Settings
• One device handles a variety of loads to simplify system design and procurement costs
Common AMPHION Features

• Every AMPHION Device:
– Switches fast with low noise emission
• Lower EMI so power control can be located near signal processing
• Faster offers more protection
– Does not arc, has no contacts, will not degrade over life
• Can be used for high speed/high current switching
• No “wear out” failure mode
– Utilizes low resistance N-Channel FETs
• Less power dissipation
• Low off-state leakage
– Will switch inductive or incandescent loads at full rated current
• Smaller and lighter than relays
• One part for all types of loads
Dissipation of Electromechanical Devices
• Relay (PRD type 20A)

– The coil is 300 Ohms, dissipation is (28)2/300 = 2.61 Watts
– Contact drop is 150mV, dissipation at 20A = 3 Watts
– Typical relay power loss at 20A is therefore 5.61 Watts
• Thermal Circuit Breaker (28V, 20A)

– Contact drop is 150mV, dissipation at 20A = 3 Watts
– Thermal element loss is typically an additional 2 Watts
– Typical thermal breaker loss at 20A is therefore 5 Watts
• NOTE: De-rating by up to 60% of published value at 100C ambient!
• Total Power Dissipation: 10.61 Watts
Amphion Heat Dissipation ?
On the DC SSAFCB, each FET Ron = 0.01 Ohm,

4 in parallel yields 0.0025 Ohm (1W @ 20A)
Measurement Shunt is 0.001 Ohm (0.4W)
Total dissipation is therefore 1.4 Watts @ 20ADC
