With isolation up to 5.2kVdc, output combinations include: +15/-5, +15/-9 or +19/-5V.

Input choice is +5, 12 or 24Vdc.


“The MGJ1 provides optimised voltages for powering gate drives for best system performance and efficiency. It also has high isolation and a characterised partial discharge performance and dV/dt immunity,” said Murata power product manager Ann-Marie Bayliss. 


For mitigating EMI, input-to-output coupling capacitance is 5pF.

With medical applications in mind, certification to ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 to 2 MOOPs is pending.

The dc-dc converter conforms to the UL 60950 (pending) for reinforced insulation, said Murata and 9.3mm creepage and clearance space helps safety agency approvals for high working voltage applications.
