Compact 1 W and 2 W DC-DC converters target medical applications

XP Power has unveiled the IMM series of 1 and 2 Watt DC-DC converters. The IMM01 1 Watt and the IMM02 2 Watt converters have been designed for use in medical applications.

Providing a 1500 VAC input/output isolation at a 250 VAC working voltage to facilitate a 1 x MOPP the single and dual output units have been approved to the international medical safety standards ANSI/AMII ES60601-1, CSA 22.2 No 60601-1 and EN/IEC60601-1.

The IMM01 and IMM02 are available with a choice of two 2:1 input voltage ranges based around a nominal 5 VDC (4.5 to 9.0 VDC) and 12 VDC (9.0 to 18.0 VDC) inputs. Single output models provide the popular nominal outputs of +3.3, +5, +12 or +15 VDC. Duals provide the combinations of +/- 3.3, +/- 5, +/- 12 or +/- 15 VDC.

These converters have been packaged in industry standard SIP-7 or SIP-8 formats and the units are intended to occupy very little of the PCB. The IMM01 uses a SIP7 footprint and measures 19.50 x 10.60 x 9.20 mm. The SIP8 2 Watt IMM02 is 21.85 x 10.60 x 9.20 mm.

Both converters are capable of operating in most environments and come with an operating temperature range of – 20 to + 100C. The convection cooled units can deliver full power up to + 60 degrees C.

A remote On/Off input pin allows external control of the converter operation from a host application such as to sequence start up.
