Alphacore Inc., a small business specializing in radiation-hardened microelectronics based in Tempe, Arizona, has been awarded a $900K contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II program. This award, issued on July 27, 2024, with a completion date of July 26, 2026, is designated as a total small business set-aside and carries a firm fixed-price structure. The contract funds the development of a radiation-tolerant, high-voltage bidirectional DC-DC converter power management integrated circuit (PMIC)—a critical component for space systems and other harsh environments where electronics must operate reliably under intense radiation exposure while managing power conversion across multiple voltage levels. This Phase II award represents an advancement from successful Phase I research and reflects NASA's investment in dual-use technologies that enhance power management capabilities for space platforms and scientific instrumentation. Alphacore's track record demonstrates proven expertise in designing radiation-hardened power management systems, having previously delivered similar solutions to defense and space agencies. The bidirectional DC-DC converter PMIC aligns with NASA's priorities for reliable, efficient power distribution in spacecraft and deep-space missions, where component failures pose mission-critical risks and are difficult or impossible to repair in-orbit.
