Cost-effective, high reliability surfacemount DC-DC converters have industrial safety recognition

The Murata NXE1 series of cost effective, high reliability, high isolation, automated manufacture, 1W surface-mount 1 Watt DC-DC converters which include 3.3V and 5V inputs and output voltages of 3.3V and 5V. They are available now from TTI Europe. Measuring only 12.7mm x 10.4mm x 4.8mm, these ultra-compact converters have a profile at least 35% lower than the 7mm height industry norm, making them suitable for use in even the smallest space-constrained designs. Also, unlike other isolated surface mount DC-DC converters available in the market, this has the benefit of being manufactured using automated processes that greatly improve overall product reliability, delivering consistent performance characteristics. Other space-saving features of the device include a transformer that is embedded in the substrate. With an industry standard pin compatible footprint, the series is ideal as a replacement product in existing designs as well as for new compact applications. Short circuit protection is standard and the series can be used across the full industrial temperature range from -40C to +85C. Input to output isolation is production tested to 3kVDC and the series is UL60950 recognised for reinforced insulation and medical safety for 1 MOOP.
