DESCRIPTION
The MEU1 series is a new range of ultra miniature
through hole 1W DC-DC converters, available in
a ZIP style pinout. The MEU1 series offers 1W
of available output power over the industrial
temperature range of -40ºC to 85ºC. They are
ideally suited for providing local supplies on
control system boards.
With the added benefit of 1kVDC galvanic
isolation to reduce switching noise and allows
the device to be configured to provide an isolated
negative rail in systems where only positive rails
exist.

TECHNICAL NOTES
ISOLATION VOLTAGE
‘Hi Pot Test’, ‘Flash Tested’, ‘Withstand Voltage’, ‘Proof Voltage’, ‘Dielectric Withstand Voltage’ & ‘Isolation Test Voltage’ are all terms that relate to the same thing, a test voltage, applied
for a specified time, across a component designed to provide electrical isolation, to verify the integrity of that isolation.
Murata Power Solutions MEU1 series of DC-DC converters are all 100% production tested at their stated isolation voltage. This is 1kVDC for 1 second.
A question commonly asked is, “What is the continuous voltage that can be applied across the part in normal operation?”
The MEU1 has been recognised by Underwriters Laboratory for functional insulation, both input and output should normally be maintained within SELV limits i.e. less than 42.4V peak,
or 60VDC. The isolation test voltage represents a measure of immunity to transient voltages and the part should never be used as an element of a safety isolation system. The part
could be expected to function correctly with several hundred volts offset applied continuously across the isolation barrier; but then the circuitry on both sides of the barrier must be
regarded as operating at an unsafe voltage and further isolation/insulation systems must form a barrier between these circuits and any user-accessible circuitry according to safety
standard requirements.
REPEATED HIGH-VOLTAGE ISOLATION TESTING
It is well known that repeated high-voltage isolation testing of a barrier component can actually degrade isolation capability, to a lesser or greater degree depending on materials,
construction and environment. The MEU1 series has toroidal isolation transformers, with no additional insulation between primary and secondary windings of enamelled wire. While
parts can be expected to withstand several times the stated test voltage, the isolation capability does depend on the wire insulation. Any material, including this enamel (typically
polyurethane) is susceptible to eventual chemical degradation when subject to very high applied voltages thus implying that the number of tests should be strictly limited. We
therefore strongly advise against repeated high voltage isolation testing, but if it is absolutely required, that the voltage be reduced by 20% from specified test voltage.
This consideration equally applies to agency recognised parts rated for better than functional isolation where the wire enamel insulation is always supplemented by a further
insulation system of physical spacing or barriers.
SAFETY APPROVAL
The MEU1 series has been recognised by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to UL 60950 for functional insulation, file number E151252 applies. The MEU1 Series of converters are not
internally fused so to meet the requirements of UL 60950 an anti-surge input line fuse should always be used with ratings as defined below.
MEU1S03xxxC: 0.50A
MEU1S05xxxC: 0.50A
MEU1S12xxxC: 0.25A
All fuses should be UL approved and rated to at least the maximum allowable DC input voltage.
RoHS COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
This series is compatible with RoHS soldering systems with a peak wave solder temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds. Please
refer to application notes for further information. The pin termination finish is Tin Plate, Hot Dipped over Matte Tin with Nickel
Preplate. This series are backward compatible with Sn/Pb soldering systems.

10μF tantalum capacitor, voltage rating to be a minimum of 1.5 times the output voltage of the DC-DC converter with an ESR of less
than 100mΩ at 100 kHz
C3
100nF multilayer ceramic capacitor, general purpose
R1
450Ω resistor, carbon film, ±1% tolerance
R2
50Ω BNC termination
T1
3T of the coax cable through a ferrite toroid
RLOAD
Resistive load to the maximum power rating of the DC-DC converter. Connections should be made via twisted wires
Measured values are multiplied by 10 to obtain the specified values.

APPLICATION NOTES
Minimum Load
The minimum load to meet datasheet specification is 10% of the full rated load across the specified input voltage range. Lower than 10% minimum loading will result in
an increase in output voltage, which may rise to typically 1.25 times the specified output voltage if the output load falls to less than 5%.
Capacitive loading and start up
Typical start up times for this series, with a typical input voltage rise time of 2.2μs and output capacitance of 10μF, are shown in the table below. The product
series will start into a capacitance of 47μF with an increased start time, however, the maximum recommended output capacitance is 10μF.
