2W DC/DC converters cut footprint in half

Available from Murata Power Solutions, the devices measure 8.2 x 8.4 x 8.5mm with a 0.69cm² footprint, compared to the current 1.67cm² industry standard. With a typical conversion efficiency of 85% across the full load range and a power density of 3.403W/cm3, the MTU2 series is available with either a single or dual output voltage. Input voltages cover the popular nominal inputs from 3.3 to 24VDC. Output voltage options include 5, 12, or 24VDC. Dual output models provide +/-5 or +/-12VDC. Load regulation is said to be 5% better than other products available on the market, reducing the need for any additional regulation components. The MTU2 has a 1kVDC input/output galvanic isolation that helps to reduce switching noise and allows the converter to be configured to provide an isolated negative rail in systems where only positive rails exist.
