The first new market that is available for modular DC/DC converters is in the medical industry. Medical applications have some unique requirements such as a minimum of 3 kVDC of isolation to meet EN/UL60601. This market used to be limited to 6-7 W modules, now RECOM offers modules up to 15 W. Another medical requirement is low EMI noise. EMC is essential if many different medical products are to be used in the same environment without interference. Finally, there is a requirement for higher operating temperature. Many medical products are made to be as compact as possible which often limits the air flow or increases the internal operating temperatures.
