Medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment operates under some of the most stringent reliability and safety requirements of any industry. Power system failures in medical devices are simply not acceptable.
Medical instrumentation presents unique power design challenges:
Patient safety — Any leakage current above 100µA can be dangerous near patients
Medical-grade DC-DC power modules meet these demands through rigorous design:
Reinforced isolation rated at 4000VAC meets IEC 60601-1 2x MOPP (Means of Patient Protection)
Extremely low leakage current (<2µA) for patient-proximity applications
IEC 60601-1-2 EMC compliance built in, simplifying medical device certification
Wide input range (4:1) supports both AC-DC bus voltages and battery-powered portable devices
Operating temperature up to +105°C in still air handles enclosed medical instrument enclosures
Long-term part availability programs (10+ years) give medical OEM customers design stability
From patient monitors and infusion pumps to diagnostic imaging consoles and portable ultrasound devices, medical-grade DC-DC power modules provide the reliability foundation that patient safety demands.
