C&D Tech Offers Miniature SIP Packaged 1W DC-DC Converter


New Products Apr 30, 2007 by Jeff Shepard

C&D Technologies has extended its NMJ series of low power dc-dc converters to include eight new single output models. The devices are claimed to be the world’s smallest UL60950 safety standard approved 1W converters.

The NMJ series is housed in fully encapsulated, UL 94V-0 rated, 7-pin SIP packages with a footprint of just 1.91cm², making them suitable for use in applications that demand a miniature, safety approved solution. With reinforced system of insulation, the NMJ is production tested at 5.2kVdc operation at full 1W load, without heatsinking. Operating temperature for the series is between -40 and +60°C.

The single and dual output (with power sharing) dc-dc converters use an advanced internal SMD construction and toroidal magnetics to help them achieve a power density of up to 0.42W/cm³. The complete NMJ series provides engineers with a choice of 5 or 12V inputs. Available outputs are 5, 9 and 15V.

Up to 11 million hours calculated MTTF makes the NMJ suitable for usage in high reliability, long life applications. The RoHS compliant NMJ series offers pin and functional compatibility with the C&D’s NMV series of SIP dc-dc converters, giving designers upgradeability for systems requiring safety agency recognition.

Volume pricing is in the $6.00 range, and sample quantities are now available from stock.
