Measuring just 12.7 x 10.4 x 4.8 mm, 1 Watt NXE1 Series has +5 Vdc input and output, with input-to-output isolation up to 3 kVdc. Surface mount units feature embedded transformer, short circuit protection, and industrial operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C. Certification to internationally recognized UL60950 safety standard for IT and commercial equipment is pending.
Original Press Release:
1 W DC-DC Converter 35% Smaller Height Profile and 50% Lower Price
Hoofddorp, Netherlands – Murata today announced the NXE1 series of low cost 1 Watt DC-DC converters from Murata Power Solutions. Measuring only 12.7 x 10.4 x 4.8 mm these ultra compact converters have a profile at least 35% lower than the 7 mm 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 the NXE1 has the benefit of being manufactured using automated processes that greatly improve overall product reliability and delivering consistent performance characteristics.
Other space-saving features of the NXE1 include a transformer that is embedded in the substrate. Together all the innovative design and fabrication features of the NXE1 contribute to Murata being able to price the series at least 50% below other similar devices making what is believed to be the lowest cost isolated SMD 1 W DC/DC converter available.
At launch the first model in the series has +5 VDC input & output with other 3 VDC input versions available shortly. Input to output isolation is up to 3 kVDC.
With an industry standard pin compatible footprint the series is ideal for 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 -40 to +85 degrees C.
Certification to the internationally recognized UL60950 safety standard for IT and commercial equipment is pending.
