DESCRIPTION
The 76250ENC converter transformer is
specifi cally designed for use with Maxim
chipsets to provide isolated RS232 interfaces. A
carefully controlled turns ratio ensures consistent
performance whilst a toroidal construction
minimises EMI.
The 76253/XXENC converter transformers are
specifi cally designed for use with the MAX253
chip set to provide isolated power supplies. The
5V version can supply 1W and the 3.3V version
can supply 500mW. A centre tapped secondary
winding allows for full bridge, half bridge or
voltage doubling.
The devices are fully approved to BS EN 60950 for
use in telecoms applications.

TECHNICAL NOTES
ISOLATION VOLTAGE
‘Hi Pot Test’, ‘Flash Tested’, ‘Withstand Voltage’, ‘Proof Voltage’, ‘Dielectric Withstand
Voltage’ & ‘Isolation Test Voltage’ are all terms that relate to the same thing, a test
voltage, applied for a specifi ed time, across a component designed to provide electrical
isolation, to verify the integrity of that isolation.
All products in this series are 100% production tested at their stated isolation voltage.
This series is recognised by the British Standards Institution to a working voltage of
300Vrms for Reinforced Insulation systems.
REPEATED HIGH-VOLTAGE ISOLATION TESTING
It is well known that repeated high-voltage isolation testing of a barrier component can
actually degrade isolation capability, to a lesser or greater degree depending on materi-
als, construction and environment. We therefore strongly advise against repeated high
voltage isolation testing, but if it is absolutely required, that the voltage be reduced by
20% from the specifi ed test voltage.
