M.S. Kennedy Corp. is a longstanding and highly reputable provider of high-performance analog microelectronics solutions for the defense, satellite, and aerospace markets. Located in Liverpool, NY (not far from Anaren's East Syracuse headquarters), MSK is now part of Anaren's Space & Defense Group, where the company has expanded our capabilities in the active microwave assembly area demanded by our customers -- even as it continues to supply its own well-established customer base.
Technologies include:
|
Video Amplifiers
MSK offers a broad range of high performance video amplifier products. These amplifiers have high voltage capability, very high slew rates and, in some cases, high output current for use in Piezo Electric drives, electrostatic or electro-magnetic deflection and CRT cathode drives.
|
Motor Controls
MSK offers a large selection of high performance parts for driving or controlling motors. From simple, compact bridges to complete brushless DC torque amplifiers.
> Output Current from 5 Amps to 800 Amps Supply Voltage Range from
55 Volts to 1200 Volts
> Both Hermetic and Plastic Encapsulated Modules (PEM) available
> Fully Isolated Versions Available
|
|
Power PEMs
After investing years in research and development, MSK has become one of the preeminent suppliers of high power encapsulated modules for use in harsh or extreme environments.
> Some models include light-weight, high strength Aluminum Silicon
Carbide (AlSiC) base plates that stay flat and won't warp like copper.
> Rugged materials and construction techniques allow some models to survive HAST and Thermal Cycling from -55° C to 125° C.
|
Linear Regulators
MSK offers a wide variety of high current, low dropout Linear Voltage Regulators for Hi-Rel and severe environment applications:
> Output Current from 1.5 Amps to 20 Amp.s
> Output Voltages down to 0.1 Volts.
> Hermetic and Surface Mount versions available.
> Radiation Hardened (RH suffix) parts available

Switching Regulators
For Point of Load (POL) applications, MSK has created the first hermetic, hi-rel switching regulators product line. Offering high efficiency, high output current, wide input voltage range, and output voltages as low as 1.2 Volts, the MSK Switching Regulators product line allows circuit designers to power most of today's complex digital processors, FPGA's, and similar systems.
> Efficiency up to 95%
> Output Current up to 8 Amps
> Input Voltage Range from 5 to 80 Volts
> Fixed Output Voltages from 7 to 1.2 Volts, as adjustable versions
