Product details
Overview
MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a regulated, isolated 0.4W DC/DC converter delivering 3.3V output from a 4.5–5.5V input, featuring 1.5kVDC isolation, SOICW-16 package, and integrated MOSFET/transformer/FB circuit. It operates across –40°C to +125°C and supports industrial bias power for digital isolators and RS-485/CAN interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z datasheet, MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z pinout, MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z application, or MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include isolation voltage rating (1.5kVDC), load regulation (0.3%), line regulation (0.1%), thermal shutdown threshold (160°C), and CISPR32 Class B compliance.
Technical Context
The MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z implements an integrated flyback architecture with primary-side regulation via internal feedback circuitry-eliminating optocouplers or secondary-side sensing components. Its transformer and power MOSFET are monolithically embedded, enabling full isolation without external magnetics.
It employs hiccup-mode short-circuit protection with ~150ms off-time and internal soft-start (~15ms ramp), while thermal shutdown activates at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis. Input under-voltage lockout triggers at 2.61V rising threshold with 190mV hysteresis, ensuring stable startup across input transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V rail systems; UVLO ensures no operation below 2.61V. |
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±0.05V - tight regulation enables direct powering of logic-level interfaces (e.g., RS-485 transceivers). |
| Isolation Voltage | 1.5kVDC - certified per UL1577 and IEC62368-1; meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial safety standards. |
| Output Power | 0.4W max - supports up to 120mA at 3.3V, sufficient for biasing multiple digital isolators or sensor signal chains. |
| Load Regulation | 0.3% - maintains output stability across full 0–120mA load range, critical for precision analog front-ends. |
| Line Regulation | 0.1% - minimizes output drift over input variation, enabling robust operation in noisy or unregulated 5V domains. |
| Efficiency | 38% at full load - optimized for low-power isolated biasing where thermal footprint and size outweigh peak efficiency concerns. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and telecom RRU environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOICW-16 (wide-body, low-profile surface-mount package with 1.27mm pitch; JEDEC MS-013 AA compliant; MSL Level 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | PGND1 | Primary-side power ground - requires large copper area and multiple vias for thermal dissipation and noise control. |
| 3, 4 | VIN | Input power supply (4.5–5.5V) - decoupled with 10μF + 0.1μF capacitors placed adjacent to pins. |
| 5–8 | SGND1 | Primary-side signal ground - tied to PGND1 with wide traces to reduce thermal resistance and improve EMI immunity. |
| 9–12 | SGND2 | Secondary-side signal ground - connected to PGND2 via thin trace only to suppress common-mode EMI radiation. |
| 13, 14 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output - decoupled with 10μF + 0.1μF capacitors; ripple limited to ≤100mVpp under full load. |
| 15, 16 | PGND2 | Secondary-side power ground - kept isolated from SGND2 with minimal copper to avoid EMI coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Isolation | Monolithic transformer + MOSFET + FB circuit eliminates external magnetics and optocouplers, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Hiccup-Mode SCP | Auto-recovering short-circuit protection with 150ms off-time prevents thermal runaway during sustained faults without requiring system reset. |
| CISPR32 Class B Compliance | Validated radiated emissions <60dBµV/m at 3m (30MHz–1GHz), enabling direct use in EMC-sensitive industrial gateways and CPE devices. |
| Thermal Protection | Non-latching shutdown at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis ensures safe operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments. |
| Low-Profile Packaging | SOICW-16 footprint (10.3×10.3mm) enables dense PCB layouts in space-constrained modules like 5G RRUs and PLC I/O cards. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RECOM RxxPxx Series (e.g., R1SX-0503-R) | Unregulated output (±10% tolerance), 1W output, DIP-8 package, no integrated feedback loop. | Suitable for non-critical biasing where load regulation >5% is acceptable; lacks hiccup-mode SCP and thermal shutdown. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation precision and protection features; requires external LDO for 3.3V logic rails. |
| Analog Devices ADuM6000 | 0.5W output, 5kVrms isolation, integrated LDO post-regulator, SOIC-16 package, higher efficiency (up to 45%). | Targeted at high-isolation medical/industrial systems requiring tighter safety margins; larger footprint due to internal LDO. | Prefer when 5kVrms isolation and sub-1% output accuracy are mandatory; accept higher unit cost and reduced temperature range (–40°C to +105°C). |
Compared with RECOM R1SX-0503-R and ADuM6000, the MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z uniquely balances 1.5kVDC isolation, 0.3% load regulation, hiccup-mode SCP, and SOICW-16 compactness for cost-sensitive industrial automation designs needing guaranteed 3.3V stability without secondary regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z?
The device delivers up to 120mA continuously at 3.3V (0.4W), verified across –40°C to +125°C ambient. Output current is limited by thermal design and internal current-sense thresholds; exceeding 120mA triggers hiccup-mode SCP. Derating is not required within its specified temperature range.
Does the MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z require external transformers or optocouplers?
No. It integrates the power MOSFET, transformer, and feedback circuit in a single SOICW-16 package. No external magnetics, optocouplers, or compensation components are needed-only two 10μF input/output capacitors and two 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitors are required for basic operation.
How does the hiccup-mode short-circuit protection behave during sustained overload?
When VOUT fails to reach 2.61V after the 15ms soft-start period, the device enters hiccup mode: it disables switching for ~150ms, then attempts restart. This cycle repeats until fault clearance. Unlike latch-off protection, it enables automatic recovery without manual reset or power cycling.
Can the MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z be used with input voltages outside 4.5–5.5V?
No. The absolute maximum VIN is +6V, but operation below 4.5V or above 5.5V violates recommended conditions. Below 4.5V, UVLO prevents startup; above 5.5V, internal stress increases risk of premature failure. External regulators must condition input if upstream supply exceeds this window.
What PCB layout practices are essential to meet CISPR32 Class B emissions?
Key practices include: (1) using overlapping mid-layer copper planes (PGND1 and GND2) to form a low-ESL Y-capacitor; (2) placing ferrite beads (BLM18HE102) and ≥4.7μF output capacitor close to VOUT/PGND2; (3) connecting SGND2 to PGND2 with a thin trace only; and (4) separating primary/secondary sides with ≥8mm creepage/clearance.
Is the MID04W0503AGY-2R-Z certified for safety standards beyond UL1577?
Yes. It holds CB certification per IEC62368-1 3rd Edition and meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial equipment. The 1.5kVDC isolation rating is validated per UL1577 (input-to-output dielectric withstand) and qualifies for functional isolation in SELV circuits per IEC61000-4-5 surge immunity testing.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable regulation?
A minimum of 10μF (tantalum or aluminum electrolytic) plus 0.1μF (ceramic) is required across VOUT and PGND2. Capacitive load capability extends to 330μF with 45Ω series resistance, enabling compatibility with downstream LDOs or high-inrush loads without instability.
