Isolated DC/DC Converters offer 3 W in compact form factor.
September 9, 2009 -
Supplied in 0.774 x 0.301 x 0.4 in. SIP, MEV3 series has power density of 1.9 W/cm³ and galvanic isolation of 3 kVdc. These isolated, single-output DC/DC converters, which offer 83% typ efficiency, are available with choice of 5 or 12 V input voltages and 5, 9, 12, or 15 V output voltages. Operating over -40 to +85°C range at full 3 W load, fully encapsulated and UL 94V-0-rated design uses toroidal magnetics and requires no external heatsinking or components.
MEV3 Series: Single Output MEV3 Series Isolated DC/DC Converters Offer 3W Output in a 2W Form Factor
--Power density of 1.9W/cm3
--Choice of 5V or 12V input voltages, 5V, 9V, 12V or 15V output voltages
Industry standard pinout and package with no external components or heatsink required
--Typical efficiency of 83% and galvanic isolation of 3kVDC
Murata Power Solutions has introduced a new range of isolated single output DC/DC converters that achieve industry leading power density, efficiency and regulation. Devices from the MEV3 series offer 3W of available output power in a previously rated 2W package to give designers potential board space savings of up to 68%.
Supplied in an industry standard SIP package with overall dimensions of 0.774in. (19.65mm) x 0.301in. (7.65mm) x 0.4in. (10.15mm), the MEV3 series is ideally suited to providing local supplies on control system boards. The fully encapsulated UL 94V-0-rated design uses toroidal magnetics and requires no external heatsinking or components helping to simplify implementation in new designs and reduce overall Bill of Materials costs.
The MEV3 series has a typical efficiency level of 83% and offers a choice of input voltages of either 5V or 12V and single output voltages of 5V, 9V, 12V or 15V. All models in the range have a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C at full 3W load and have the added benefit of 3kVDC galvanic isolation (1 minute). Power density is 1.9W/cm3 offering a significant improvement compared to the previous industry standard 3W power density of 0.9W/cm3.
Industry standard pinout MEV3 DC/DC converters provide a pin compatible power upgrade path from Murata Power Solutions' 1W NMV/MEV and 2W NMK series'. UL 60950 recognition is pending for all models in the range.
