Murata Power Solutions has announced the introduction of the NMUSB2022PMC, a surface mount powered data isolator module that conveniently provides dual port USB data and power isolation from a single upstream port. When used in conjunction with a USB host, a single NMUSB202PMC module counts as two USB hubs for cascaded applications and provides full 5V/500mA power to each downstream port. 250 VRMS reinforced isolation provides safety, immunity to EMI and breaking of ground loops.
The is NMUSB2022PMC is fully compliant with USB 2.0 specification, which enables hassle-free, “plug and play” operation with any USB-compatible device. It can do automatic switching between full-speed (12 Mbps) and low speed (1.5 Mbps) operation. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.
The device enables USB isolation function with a single SMT component. Users may power any USB compatible device from the NMUSB module. The data isolation function included with the DC-DC module adds value and convenience to the user and also eases system approval for medical systems safety certifications. Applications include industrial control for isolating sensors and medical environments, where USB is becoming common for low cost sensing and communication but isolation is necessary for safety and noise immunity. It is also well suited for harsh environment data communication and sensor communications.
