PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The NKE sub-miniature series of DC-DC Converters
is particularly suited to isolating and/or converting
DC power rails. A smaller package size, improved
efficiency, lower output ripple and 3kVDC isolation
capability through state of the art packaging and
improved technology. The galvanic isolation allows
the device to be configured to provide an isolated
negative rail in systems where only positive rails
exist. The wide temperature range guarantees
startup from –40°C and full 1 watt output at 85°C.

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 NKE series of DC-DC converters are all 100% production tested at their stated isolation voltage. This is 3000V DC for 1 second.
A question commonly asked is, “What is the continuous voltage that can be applied across the part in normal operation?”
The NKE series 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. While manufactured parts can 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.
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 on the SIP package type is Tin Plate, Hot Dipped over Matte Tin with Nickel
Preplate. The DIP types are Matte Tin over Nickel Preplate. Both types in this series are backward compatible with Sn/Pb soldering systems.
For further information, please visit www.murata-ps.com/rohs
SAFETY APPROVAL
The NKE series has been recognised by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to UL 60950 for functional insulation in a maximum ambient temperature of 85ºC and/or case temperature
limit of 130ºC. Case temperature measured on the face opposite the pins. File number E151252 applies.

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

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 double 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.

Output Ripple Reduction
By using the values of inductance and capacitance stated, the output ripple at the rated load is lowered to 5mV p-p max.
Component selection
Capacitor: It is required that the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) should be as low as possible, ceramic types are recommended.
The voltage rating should be at least twice (except for 15V output), the rated output voltage of the DC-DC converter.
Inductor: The rated current of the inductor should not be less than that of the output of the DC-DC converter. At the rated current, the DC resistance of the inductor
should be such that the voltage drop across the inductor is 20MHz.
