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 MTC1 series of DC-DC converters are all 100% production tested at 3kVAC for 1 second and have been qualification tested at 3kVAC for 1 minute.
A question commonly asked is, “What is the continuous voltage that can be applied across the part in normal operation?”
The MTC1 series has been recognised by Underwriters Laboratory to 250 Vrms Reinforced Insulation, please see safety approval section below.
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. 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.
SAFETY APPROVAL
ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1
The MTC1 series has been recognised by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 and provides 1 MOPP (Means Of Patient Protection) and 2 MOOP (Means Of
Operator Protection) based upon a working voltage of 250 Vrms max., between Primary and Secondary. File number E202895 applies.
UL 60950
The MTC1 series has been recognised by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to UL 60950 for reinforced insulation to a working voltage of 250 Vrms. File number E151252 applies.
Creepage and clearance is 5mm.
FUSING
The MTC1 Series of converters are not internally fused so to meet the requirements of UL an anti-surge input line fuse should always be used with ratings as defined below.
Input Voltage, 12V: 0.5A
Input Voltage, 24V: 0.25A
All fuses should be UL recognised and rated to 125V.
RoHS COMPLIANCE INFORMATION, MSL
This series is compatible with RoHS soldering systems with a peak reflow solder temperature of 245ºC as per J-STD-020D.1. The pin termination
finish on this product series is Gold with Nickel Pre-plate. The series is backward compatible with Sn/Pb soldering systems. The series has a
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1.

CHARACTERISATION TEST METHODS
Ripple & Noise Characterisation Method
Ripple and noise measurements are performed with the following test configuration.
C1 1µF X7R m ultilayer ceramic capacitor, voltage rating to be a minimum of 3 times the output voltage of the DC-DC converter
C2 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 100m at 100 kHz
C3 100nF multilayer ceramic capacitor, general purpose
R1 450 resistor, carbon film, ±1% tolerance
R2 50 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 (Continued)
Control Pin
The MTC1 converters have a shutdown feature which enables the user to disable the converter into a low power state. The control pin connects to the base of an internal
NPN transistor with the converter shut down when the transistor is turned on by an external applied voltage. The converter can also be shut down using a 5V TTL signal (the
unit is OFF for logic High and ON for logic LOW). If the control pin is left open (high impedance), the converter will run normally. A suitable application circuit is shown below.
D1 (e.g. 1N4001) is necessary for correct operation of the MTC1 when the control
signal is LOW. The recommended drive current IB to shut down the MTC1 is 6mA
to 15mA. The value of R1 can be derived as follows:
R1 =
For a switch input:
Calculate the value of R1 from the above equation given switch voltage Vc and
chosen current between 6 and 15mA.
For 5V TTL Signal:
Set R1 to be between 320Ω to 800Ω.
Output Voltage Adjustment
The MTC1S series has a trim capability which is located at pin 3, this allows the user to independently adjust the output voltages by ±10%. Adjustments to the output
voltages can be accomplished via a single fixed resistor as shown in Figures 1 and 2. A single fixed resistor can increase or decrease the output voltage depending on its
connection. Fixed resistors should have low temperature coefficient to minimize sensitivity to changes in temperature.
A single resistor connected from the TRIM pin (pin 3) to the +Vout (pin 4), will decrease the output voltage which is shown in figure 1.
A single resistor connected from the TRIM pin (pin 3) to the -Vout (pin 2) will increase the output voltage which is shown in figure 2.
TRIM DOWN TRIM UP
Accuracy of adjustment is subject to tolerances of resistors and factory adjusted output accuracy. Vout is equal to the desired output voltage.
