Murata announces the MTC1 Series of 1-Watt regulated single-output dc-dc converters manufactured by Murata Power Solutions. The MTC1 Series comprises a total of six single-output models providing 3.3-, 5-, or 12-Vdc. These miniature isolated devices are available with nominal input voltages of 12- or 24-Vdc and accommodate a 2:1 input range around the selected nominal.
No additional regulation components are required since the MTC1 output is fully-regulated to within ±0.5% of stated output. A voltage trim pin allows adjustment of the output voltage by ±10% to suit any special voltage requirements. A remote on/off pin provides the ability to disable the output for application power saving.
Input-to-output isolation conforms to the international safety insulation standard UL60950 (pending). With its certification (pending) to the medical safety standard ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 for 2 MOOPs, the converter is suitable for use in a wide range of medical and healthcare applications. Occupying 34% less PCB area than competing parts, the MTC1 can operate up to 100 degrees C with derating.
Ann-Marie Bayliss, product marketing manager of Murata Power Solutions comments, “The MTC1 with its 34% smaller footprint, UL60950 reinforced insulation, and 3rd edition medical safety standard compliance offers enhanced product features in a miniature package.â€
