Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-5384:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description | [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J13025_1755925c87c.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J13025_125820b7fc0.jpg) | |---| This DC-DC power module provides galvanically isolated (electrically isolated) and regulated 5 V or 3.3 V power at up to 200 mA. Unlike non-isolated regulators, the output ground (GND2) is effectively independent of the input side, which can be useful for preventing ground loops and avoiding ground currents that can cause unpredictable system behavior or even lead to destruction. This module is based on the MPS MIE1W0505BGLVH, which has a 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating; the PCB is designed with the same 3.5 mm minimum clearance and creepage between the isolated sides as the IC, but please note that the module itself is not certified to any standard. See the [MIE1W0505BGLVH datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/MIE1W0505BGLVH_62397cbca64.pdf) (624k pdf) for more information. Here are some of the module’s key features: - Galvanic isolation between input and output - 3 V to 5.5 V input voltage range - Selectable 5 V or 3.3 V regulated output (5 V default) - up to 180 mA out continuous (200 mA peak) at 5 V in - up to 75 mA out continuous at 3 V in - Over-temperature and short-circuit protection - Compact 0.3" × 0.6" size with breadboard-compatible, 0.1"-pitch through holes **Using the module** | [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J13024_18965394ef4.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J13024_13263875cc1.jpg) | |---| Input power is supplied across **VIN** and **GND1** and output power is delivered across **VOUT** and **GND2**. The two sides are galvanically isolated (GND1 is *NOT* connected to GND2). Note that the efficiency of this regulator is less than 50%, so the input power will need to be at least twice the output power. The enable input, **EN**, is pulled up to VIN through a 100 kO resistor, which enables the regulator by default. This pin can be driven low to put the device into a low-power state where the shutdown current draw is typically dominated by the current through the pull-up resistor (10 µA per volt on VIN). The output voltage selection input, **VSEL**, is floating, which sets the output voltage to 5 V by default. To select 3.3 V for the output voltage, connect VSEL to GND2. This can be done using the board’s through holes or by adding an SMT jumper to the pads circled in the picture below. **Note:** Do not change VSEL while the regulator is powered. | [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J13027_32605002afb.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J13027_23197152931.jpg) | |---| | An SMT jumper can be added here to connect VSEL to GND2, which sets VOUT to 3.3V. | **Schematic** | [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J13026_621132278c6.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J13026_3155145ca34.png) | |---| **Dimensions** | Size: | 0.3" × 0.6" × 0.1" | |---|---| | Weight: | 0.5 g | **General specifications** | Minimum operating voltage: | 3.0 V | |---|---| | Maximum operating voltage: | 5.5 V | | Maximum output current: | 200 mA | | Output voltage: | 5 V[1](https://core-electronics.com.au/#note1) | | Reverse voltage protection?: | N | | Maximum quiescent current: | 8 mA[2](https://core-electronics.com.au/#note2) | **Identifying markings** | PCB dev codes: | reg36a | |---|---| | Other PCB markings: | 0J4042 | **Notes:** 1 Output can be changed to 3.3 V by connecting the VSEL pin to GND2. 2 EN input can be used to disable the regulator and decrease the input current to under 100 µA. **File downloads** - **[Dimension diagram of the MIE1W0505BGLVH Isolated DC-DC Power Module](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/mie1w0505bglvh-isolated-dc-power-module-dimensions_28351c78e43.pdf) (284k pdf)** - **3D model of the MIE1W0505BGLVH Isolated DC-DC Power Module (3MB step)** - **Drill guide for the MIE1W0505BGLVH Isolated DC-DC Power Module (14k dxf)** This DXF drawing shows the locations of all of the board’s holes. - **[MPS MIE1W0505BGLVH datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/MIE1W0505BGLVH_62397cbca64.pdf) (624k pdf)** **Recommended links** - **[MPS product page for the MIE1W0505BGLVH 5V, 1W, Regulated, 2.5kVRMS Isolated DC/DC Module](https://www.monolithicpower.com/en/mie1w0505bglvh.html?srsltid=AfmBOoq5CjjP_-Ju1PYrE8Z-RLdnD12JvSqKuBVf4hQ9ZaXXhkAM3h1H)** MPS product page for the MIE1W0505BGLVH, where you can find application notes and other resources. ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/P/O/POLOLU-5384-1.jpg)
