MTC1 Series
Isolated 1W SM 2:1 Input Single Output DC-DC Converters
APPLICATION NOTES
Control Pin
The MTC1 converters have a shutdown feature which enables the user to put the converter into a low power state. The control pin connects directly to the base of an
internal transistor, and the switch off mechanism for the MTC1 works by forward biasing this NPN transistor. If the pin is left open (high impedance), the converter will be ON
(there is no allowed low state for this pin), but once a control voltage is applied with sufficient drive current, the converter will be switched OFF. A suitable application circuit
is shown below.

(e.g. 1N4001) is required to provide high impedance when the signal is low.
From the MTC1 specification, the drive current to operate this function is recom-
mended to be 3mA to 8mA, and hence the value of R

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.

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.

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.
