Since there has been a lot of discussion on the CAN-DO power supply considerations, I thought I would pass on what the Suitsat-2 people are doing.
They seem to have settled on using the Newport NMV series of COTS isolated supply modules. I've attached 2 PDF files that describe the units for your information.
Thanks for the pointer, Tom.
Not clearly relevant for CAN-Do, since they have pretty hideous efficiency at low current levels, fairly tight (+/- 10%) specs on input voltage, and seem fairly large physically. The app note also suggests that keeping them quiet could take some external filtering. Could be very useful for module builders needing a supply in the 100ma DC range downstream of a CAN-Do power switch, though!
