PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The NTF 1W series of surface mount DC/DC
converters offer a tightly regulated output voltage
in a true surface mount device, available with
three wide input voltage ranges of 4-6V, 9-15V
and 18-36V. The NTF series’ employs leadframe
technology and transfer moulding techniques to
bring all of the benefits of IC style packaging to
hybrid circuitry. Co-planarity of the lead positions
is based upon IEC 191-6:1990. The devices are
suitable for all applications where high volume
production is envisaged.

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 NTF series of DC/DC converters are all 100% production tested at their stated isolation voltage. This is 1kVDC for 1 second.
A question commonly asked is, “What is the continuous voltage that can be applied across the part in normal operation?”
For a part holding no specific agency approvals, such as the NTF series, both input and output should normally be maintained within SELV limits i.e. less than 42.4V peak, or
60VDC. The isolation test voltage represents a measure of immunity to transient voltages and the part should never be used as an element of a safety isolation system. The part
could be expected to function correctly with several hundred volts offset applied continuously across the isolation barrier; but then the circuitry on both sides of the barrier must
be regarded as operating at an unsafe voltage and further isolation/insulation systems must form a barrier between these circuits and any user-accessible circuitry according to
safety standard requirements.
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. The NTF series has toroidal isolation transformers, with no additional insulation between primary and secondary windings of enameled wire. While
parts can be expected to withstand several times the stated test voltage, the isolation capability does depend on the wire insulation. Any material, including this enamel (typically
polyurethane) is susceptible to eventual chemical degradation when subject to very high applied voltages thus implying that the number of tests should be strictly limited. 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.
This consideration equally applies to agency recognized parts rated for better than functional isolation where the wire enamel insulation is always supplemented by a further
insulation system of physical spacing or barriers.

APPLICATION NOTES
Recommended input & output capacitors
Although these converters will work without external capacitors, they are
necessary in order to guarantee the full parametric performance over the full
line and load range. All parts have been tested and characterized using the
following values and test circuit.
Value
CIN COUT
10µF, 200V
good low esr capacitor
22µF, 16V
good low esr capacitor
Test circuit, 5V, 12V and 15V output
ON/OFF Pin
This provides an OFF function, which puts the converter into a low power mode. When the pin is un-connected, the converter is on. The circuit used must be able to sink a peak
curent of 50mA to guarantee turning the converter off. The circuit should be an open collector arrangement, an example circuit is shown below. Voltages should not be applied
directly to the ON/OFF pin. The BC547 should be fitted close to the NTF ON/OFF pin to prevent the addition of excess wiring capacitance.
Output voltage adjustment
The trim resistor equations are: Where:
TRIM UP TRIM DOWN
When the output voltage is trimmed up, output current must be derated so that the maximum output power is not exceeded.
