The MGN1D050603MC from Murata is a GaN Gate Drive Isolated DC-DC Converter that converts an input voltage of 5 V to an output voltage of 6 V. It delivers an output power of up to 1 W and has an efficiency of 62%. This DC-DC converter is a patent-protected solution with output voltages that are optimized to meet the requirements of leading GaN devices. It offers ultra-low capacitance and a choice of output voltages that allow optimum drive levels for best-in-class system efficiency. This isolated converter has a common mode transient immunity (CMTI) of over 200 kV/µs which makes it well suited to the elevated switching speeds of GaN-based systems, further ensuring gate driver signal integrity.

The MGN1D050603MC has a low profile and a small footprint that allows it to be easily integrated into space-limited systems. This RoHS-compliant DC-DC converter consists of built-in short circuit protection and reverse polarity protection circuitries to prevent over-current-related damages. It is available in a surface-mount package that measures 16 x 12 mm and is ideal for high-side and low-side gate drive circuit applications.
