Product details
Overview
MID04W0503AGY-3R-P 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 3kVDC isolation, -40°C to +125°C operation, and integrated MOSFET/transformer/FB circuitry. It serves as bias power for isolated interfaces in industrial automation and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the MID04W0503AGY-3R-P datasheet, MID04W0503AGY-3R-P pinout, MID04W0503AGY-3R-P application, or MID04W0503AGY-3R-P equivalent, key selection criteria include isolation voltage rating (3kVDC), load regulation (0.3%), line regulation (0.1%), thermal shutdown threshold (160°C), and SOICW-16 package compatibility with high-reliability isolated power designs.
Technical Context
The MID04W0503AGY-3R-P implements an integrated flyback topology with internal primary-side MOSFET, transformer, and feedback control loop-enabling regulation without external optocouplers or secondary-side sensing. Its hiccup-mode short-circuit protection activates after 15ms soft-start if VOUT fails to reach 2.61V.
It achieves isolation via internal transformer winding insulation rated to 3kVDC (1s test at 3.6kVDC), with input-to-output capacitance of 7pF and resistance >50GΩ. Thermal shutdown engages at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis, and UVLO thresholds are 2.61V (rising) with 190mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - supports stable operation across standard 5V rail tolerances including USB PD and industrial 5V supplies. |
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±0.05V - tightly regulated for powering digital isolators, RS-485 transceivers, and CAN PHYs without external LDO. |
| Isolation Voltage | 3kVDC - meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC62368-1 for industrial and telecom safety-critical applications. |
| Output Power | 0.4W max - sufficient for biasing up to two dual-channel digital isolators or one quad-channel RS-485 transceiver. |
| Load Regulation | 0.3% - ensures <±10mV output deviation from 0A to 120mA load, critical for precision analog sensor front-ends. |
| Line Regulation | 0.1% - maintains output stability despite ±10% input variation, eliminating need for upstream pre-regulation. |
| Efficiency | 38% at full load - optimized for low-power isolated bias where thermal footprint and EMI compliance outweigh peak efficiency. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, 5G RRUs, and factory-floor PLCs without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOICW-16 (wide-body, 10.3mm × 7.5mm × 2.33mm), RoHS-compliant, MSL Level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | PGND1 | Primary-side power ground - requires large copper pour and multiple vias for thermal dissipation and noise control. |
| 3, 4 | VIN | 4.5–5.5V input - must be decoupled with 10μF + 0.1μF capacitors placed adjacent to pins to suppress switching noise. |
| 5–8 | SGND1 | Primary-side signal ground - tied to PGND1 with wide traces to minimize ground bounce in feedback path. |
| 9–12 | SGND2 | Secondary-side signal ground - connected to PGND2 via thin trace only to limit EMI coupling across isolation barrier. |
| 13, 14 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output - requires local 10μF + 0.1μF decoupling to PGND2; ripple ≤100mV over full load range. |
| 15, 16 | PGND2 | Secondary-side power ground - kept isolated from SGND2 with minimal copper area to reduce common-mode noise radiation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated transformer & MOSFET | Eliminates external magnetics and gate drivers - reduces BOM count by ≥7 components and PCB area by >40% vs discrete isolated solutions. |
| Hiccup-mode SCP | Auto-recovery after 150ms off-time - prevents thermal runaway during sustained shorts while enabling self-clearing fault conditions. |
| CISPR32 Class B compliance | Verified radiated emissions <40dBuV/m at 3m - enables direct integration into EMI-sensitive network gateways without added filtering. |
| UL1577 & CB certified | Meets global safety standards for reinforced insulation - eliminates need for system-level certification retesting when used per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 160°C trip / 140°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking while avoiding oscillation near thermal limit. |

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, 1.5kVDC isolation, 0.25W max, DIP-8 package | Lacks regulation and thermal/SCP protection; requires external feedback for stability | Select only when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation accuracy and safety certification needs. |
| Analog Devices ADuM6000 | 0.5W, 5kVrms isolation, integrated LDO, SOIC-16, but requires external transformer | Higher isolation rating but larger solution size and higher BOM complexity | Prefer when >3.75kVrms reinforcement is mandated or tighter output tolerance (<±1%) is required. |
Compared with RECOM R1SX-0503-R and ADuM6000, the MID04W0503AGY-3R-P delivers tighter regulation (0.3% vs unregulated or ±2%), built-in 3kVDC safety certification, and smallest PCB footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding industrial and telecom designs where reliability trumps marginal efficiency gain.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the MID04W0503AGY-3R-P?
The device supports up to 120mA continuous output current at 3.3V, corresponding to its 0.4W maximum output power rating. This is verified across the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range with 10μF input/output capacitance and proper thermal layout per the datasheet's SOICW-16 PCB guidelines.
Does the MID04W0503AGY-3R-P require external feedback components?
No. The device integrates a complete feedback circuit-including error amplifier, reference, and isolation-coupled sensing-eliminating the need for optocouplers, TL431 shunt regulators, or external compensation networks. Output regulation is achieved entirely within the monolithic IC.
Can the MID04W0503AGY-3R-P be used with input voltages below 4.5V?
No. The under-voltage lockout (UVLO) rising threshold is 2.61V, but the device requires ≥4.5V to sustain regulation and deliver rated output power. Operation below 4.5V causes dropout, increased ripple, and potential hiccup-mode entry-even if VIN remains above UVLO.
How does the 3kVDC isolation rating impact PCB layout requirements?
The 3kVDC rating mandates ≥8mm minimum creepage and clearance between primary-side (pins 1–8) and secondary-side (pins 9–16) copper features. This requires physical separation of GND1/GND2 planes, no shared vias across isolation barrier, and adherence to IPC-2221B spacing rules for reinforced insulation.
Is the MID04W0503AGY-3R-P compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles?
Yes. It is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020D-compliant lead-free reflow, with peak temperature up to 260°C and MSL Level 3 handling. The SOICW-16 package uses matte tin plating and passes 1000-cycle thermal shock testing per JESD22-A104.
What is the purpose of connecting SGND2 to PGND2 with a thin trace?
A thin trace limits high-frequency common-mode current flow between secondary-side grounds, reducing electromagnetic radiation across the isolation barrier. Thick copper would increase parasitic capacitance and degrade CISPR32 Class B emissions performance-verified in MPS's certified evaluation board layout.
Does the device support adjustable output voltage?
No. The MID04W0503AGY-3R-P is factory-trimmed for fixed 3.3V output with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature and line/load. There is no external resistor divider or feedback pin to modify the output voltage; alternative part numbers (e.g., MID04W0505A) are required for other voltages.
