So ranking of DC/DC converters based on End-Of-Life (EOL) reliability is an undeniable need. In this paper, reliability of four DC/DC converters including buck, forward, fly-back, and Push-pull, as candidates for a 5-years-long, Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) space mission, are evaluated and compared. Converters are assumed having similar design requirements and supervision and control elements with different power conversion parts and negligible reliability-affecting excess circuits.
