World's Smallest DC-to-DC Convertors
ILDC1x packages
DFN6 and SOIC16 versions
 

NVE DC-to-DC convertors are available in either a SOIC16 or a 3 x 5.5 mm DFN6, which is the world's smallest isolated DC-to-DC convertor.

Best-in-Class Isolation
The DFN6 versions offer full 2.5 kVrms isolation, and the SOIC16 versions have best-in-class 6 kVrms isolation and true eight-millimeter creepage under IEC60601. Both versions are UL1577 listed and CE marked.

Multiple Output Voltages
Available outputs include the popular 3.3-to-3.3 volt version, plus 3.3-to-5 volt and 3.3-to-6 volt boost versions. The 3.3-volt and 5-volt outputs are perfect for powering RS-485/RS-422 buses, while six volts is ideal for high-side FET gate drivers.
 
Ample Power
With 250 milliwatts of fully regulated power, there is plenty of current for an isolated RS-485 bus or high-side MOSFET drivers.
 
Low Ripple
Less than one millivolt peak-to-peak ripple ensures low noise and reliable systems.

Soft Start
A smooth output ramp-up with a minimum two-millisecond startup facilitates safe power sequencing, such as allowing control electronics to start before an H-bridge is powered.

Rugged
A maximum junction temperature of 175°C allows full-power operation up to 125°C ambient without derating. Integrated short-circuit protection prevents excessive power dissipation.
 
Minimal Parts Count
Just three simple bypass capacitors are required as external components. No additional regulation is needed, and there is no minimum load.

Low EMC
High-frequency operation, frequency hopping, and integrated shielding ensure compliance with FCC and CISPR 32 Class B, with no shielding or ferrite beads required.

A Better Barrier
NVE’s award-winning IsoLoop isolation technology and a unique ceramic/polymer composite barrier provide virtually unlimited barrier life and 100 teraohm barrier resistance.

Evaluation Boards
ILDC1x-Series evaluation boards come with everything you need—just the part and bypass capacitors. They also include LEDs to indicate that the convertor is operating and screw terminals for easy connections. There are no ferrite beads, RF chokes, load resistors, or external regulators because you don’t need them.
