Layered production cuts height & price of DC/DC converters
Using a layered substrate manufacturing process, the NXE1, 1W DC/DC converter is the first of a planned family of DC/DC converters from Murata. A transformer is embedded in the substrate, which saves space compared with conventional DC/DC converters.
The profile has been reduced from the company’s earlier generation of converters from 6.8 to 4.8mm. The total dimensions are 12.7x10.4x4.8mm. The isolated, surface mount converters are manufactured using automated processes that, according to the company, improve reliability and achieve consistent performance characteristics.
The first model, launched at electronica 2014, has +5VDC input and output; with 3VDC input versions to follow. Input to output isolation is up to 3kVDC.
The industry standard, pin-compatible footprint converter lends itself to being used as a replacement in existing designs as well as for new projects. Short circuit protection is standard and it operates over the industrial temperature range of -40 to +85°C. Certification to UL60950 is pending.
