Description
The JFC-Series Power Modules are dc-dc converters
that operate over an input voltage range of 18 Vdc to
36 Vdc and provide a precisely regulated dc output.
The output is fully isolated from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules have maximum power ratings from
50 W to 100 W at typical full-load efficiencies of 85%.
The sealed modules have metal baseplates for excellent thermal performance. Threaded-through holes
are provided for easy mounting or adding a heat sink
for high-temperature applications. Listed above are
the enhanced features for convenience and flexibility

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The
safety agencies require a normal-blow fuse with a maximum rating of 20 A (see Safety Considerations section).
Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same
type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data for further information.

Solder, Cleaning, and Drying Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board assembly process prior to electrical testing. The result of inadequate circuit-board cleaning and drying can affect both the reliability of a power module and the testability of the
finished circuit-board assembly. For guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning, and drying procedures, refer to
the Board-Mounted Power Modules Soldering and Cleaning Application Note (AP97-021EPS).

The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance input source. Highly inductive source
impedances can affect the stability of the power module. For the test configuration in Figure 8, a 33 µF electrolytic capacitor (ESR < 0.7 ¾ at 100 kHz) mounted
close to the power module helps ensure stability of the
unit. For other highly inductive source impedances,
consult the factory for further application guidelines.

Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard,
i.e., UL1950, CSA C22.2 No. 950, and VDE 0805
(EN60950, IEC950)
For the converter output to be considered meeting the
requirements of safety extra-low voltage (SELV), the
input must meet SELV requirements.
If the input meets extra-low voltage (ELV) requirements, then the converter’s output is considered ELV.
8-513 (C).b
Note: Use a 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF aluminum or tantalum capacitor. Scope measurement should be made using a
BNC socket. Position the load between 51 mm and 76 mm

The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 20 A normal-blow fuse in the ungrounded lead.
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the unit is equipped with internal current-limiting
circuitry and optional delayed shutdown. At the point of
current-limit inception, the unit shifts from voltage control to current control. If the output voltage is pulled
very low during a severe fault, the current-limit circuit
can exhibit either foldback or tailout characteristics
(output current decrease or increase). The unit will
operate normally once the output current is brought
back into its specified range. If the module has the
optional delayed current-limit shutdown, the unit will
operate normally once the output current is brought
back into its specified range, provided the overcurrent
condition is removed before the module shuts down.

Overcurrent Protection (continued)
The current-limit set point can be reduced by connecting a resistor between the overcurrent trim (OCTRIM)
pin and SENSE(–) pin. The resistor value is derived by
the following equation:
11 I trim – 1.15 I rated
R cl-adj =  ----------------------------------------------------- k Ω
1.15 I rated – I trim
Where:
Rcl-adj is the value of an external resistor between the
OCTRIM pin and SENSE(–) pin.
Irated
is the output current rating of the module.
(not the output current-limit inception).
Itrim
is the trimmed value of the output current-limit
set point.
Remote On/Off
There are two remote on/off signals, a primary referenced signal and a secondary referenced signal. Both
signals must be asserted on for the module to deliver
output power. If either signal is asserted off, the module
will not deliver output power. Both signals have internal
pull-up circuits and are designed to interface with an
open collector pull-down device. Typically one on/off
signal will be permanently enabled by hardwiring it to
its return while the other on/off signal is used exclusively for control.
If not using the primary remote on/off feature, do one of
the following:
■
For negative logic, short the ON/OFF pin to VI(–).
■
For positive logic, leave the ON/OFF pin open.
Secondary Remote On/Off
The secondary remote on/off signal (S-ON/OFF pin) is
only available with negative logic. The negative logic signal turns the module off during a logic high and on during
a logic low. To turn the power module on and off, the user
must supply a switch to control the voltage between the
S-ON/OFF pin and the SENSE(–) pin (i.e., Von/off, sec).
The switch can be an open collector or equivalent (see
Figure 11). A logic low is Von/off, sec = 0 V to 1.2 V. The
maximum Ion/off, sec during a logic low is 1 mA. The switch
should maintain a logic-low voltage while sinking 1 mA.
During a logic high, the maximum Von/off, sec generated
by the power module is 15 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch at Von/off, sec = 15 V is 50
µA.
If not using the secondary remote on/off feature, short
the S-ON/OFF pin to the SENSE(–) pin.

The primary remote on/off signal (ON/OFF) is available
with either positive or negative logic. Positive logic turns
the module on during a logic high and off during a logic
low. Negative logic remote on/off turns the module off
during a logic high and on during a logic low. Negative
logic (code suffix 1) is the factory-preferred configuration.
8-1398 (C)
Figure 11. Remote On/Off Implementation
Remote Sense
To turn the power module on and off, the user must supply a switch to control the voltage between the primary
remote on/off terminal (Von/off, pri) and the VI(–) terminal.
The switch can be an open collector or equivalent (see
Figure 11). A logic low is Von/off, pri = 0 V to 1.2 V. The
maximum Ion/off, pri during a logic low is 1 mA. The switch
should maintain a logic-low voltage while sinking 1 mA.
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution
losses by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense
connections. The voltage between the remote-sense
pins and the output terminals must not exceed the output voltage sense range given in the Feature Specifications table, i.e.:
During a logic high, the maximum Von/off, pri generated by
the power module is 15 V. The maximum allowable
leakage current of the switch at Von/off, pri = 15 V is 50
µA.
The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(–) terminals
must not exceed the output overvoltage shutdown voltage. This limit includes any increase in voltage due to
remote-sense compensation and output voltage setpoint adjustment (trim), see Figure 12.

Figure 12. Effective Circuit Configuration for

Output voltage trim (VOTRIM pin) enables the user to
increase or decrease the output voltage set point of a
module. This is accomplished by connecting an external resistor between the VOTRIM pin and either the
SENSE(+) or SENSE(–) pins. The trim resistor should
be positioned close to the module.
If not using the trim feature, leave the VOTRIM pin
open.
With an external resistor between the VOTRIM and

The amount of power delivered by the module is

Note: The output voltage of this module may be

the combination of both the remote-sense and
the output voltage set-point adjustment (trim).

JFC100H, or JFC150H (24 V) trimmed down.
The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(–) terminals
must not exceed the output overvoltage shutdown voltage. This limit includes any increase in voltage due to
remote-sense compensation and output voltage setpoint adjustment (trim).
Tyco Electronics Corp.
The output overvoltage shutdown consists of control
circuitry, independent of the primary regulation loop,
that monitors the voltage on the output terminals. The
control loop of the clamp has a higher voltage set point
than the primary loop (see Feature Specifications
table). This provides a redundant voltage control that
reduces the risk of output overvoltage and latches the
converter off if an overvoltage occurs.
Recovery from latched shutdown is accomplished by
cycling the dc input power off for at least 1.0 second or
by toggling the primary or secondary referenced
remote on/off signal for at least 1.0 second.
The overvoltage shutdown set point can be lowered by
placing a resistor between the overvoltage trim
(OVTRIM) pin and SENSE(–) pin. This feature is useful
if the output voltage of the converter has been trimmed
down and a corresponding reduction in overvoltage trip
point is desired.
The resistance required from a given overvoltage nominal set point is derived from the following equation:
17.6 – 2 V ov-set
R ov - adj =  ---------------------------------------- kΩ
 V ov-set – 17.6 
Where:
Rov-adj is the value of an external resistor between the
OVTRIM pin and SENSE(–) pin.
Vov-set is the nominal adjusted set point of the overvoltage shutdown threshold.

Module Synchronization
Any module can be synchronized to any other module
or to an external clock using the SYNC IN or SYNC
OUT pins. The modules are not designed to operate in
a master/slave configuration; that is, if one module fails,
the other modules will continue to operate.
SYNC IN Pin
This pin can be connected either to an external clock or
directly to the SYNC OUT pin of another JFx150x or
Fx300x module.
If an external clock signal is applied to the SYNC IN
pin, the signal must be a 500 kHz (±50 kHz) square
wave with a 4 Vp-p amplitude. Operation outside this
frequency band will detrimentally affect the performance of the module and must be avoided.
If the SYNC IN pin is connected to the SYNC OUT pin
of another module, the connection should be as direct
as possible, and the VI(–) pins of the modules must be
shorted together.
Unused SYNC IN pins should be tied to VI(–). If the
SYNC IN pin is unused, the module will operate from
its own internal clock.
SYNC OUT Pin
This pin contains a clock signal referenced to the VI(–)
pin. The frequency of this signal will equal either the
module’s internal clock frequency or the frequency established by an external clock applied to the SYNC IN pin.
When synchronizing several modules together, the
modules can be connected in a daisy-chain fashion
where the SYNC OUT pin of one module is connected
to the SYNC IN pin of another module. Each module in
the chain will synchronize to the frequency of the first
module in the chain.
To avoid loading effects, ensure that the SYNC OUT
pin of any one module is connected to the SYNC IN pin
of only one module. Any number of modules can be
synchronized in this daisy-chain fashion.

remote sense, the forward-voltage drops across the
Schottky diodes do not affect the set point of the voltage applied to the load. For additional power requirements, where multiple units are used to develop
combined power in excess of the rated maximum, the
Schottky diodes are not needed.
An internal anti-rollback circuit prevents either output
voltage from falling more than 1 V below the other during light load operation.
Good layout techniques should be observed for noise
immunity. To implement forced load sharing, the following connections must be made:
■
The parallel pins of all units must be connected
together. The paths of these connections should be
as direct as possible.
■
All remote-sense pins must be connected to the
power bus at the same point. That is, connect all
remote-sense (+) pins to the (+) side of the power
bus at the same point, and connect all remote-sense
(–) pins to the (–) side of the power bus at the same
point. Close proximity and directness are necessary
for good noise immunity.
■
Add a 1000 pF capacitor across the PARALLEL pin
and SENSE(–) pin of each module. Locate the
capacitor as close to the module as possible.

Thermal Warning
Output Current Monitor
The thermal warning (TEMPWARN) pin is a secondary-referenced, open-collector output that shorts to
SENSE(–) a few degrees before the module goes into
thermal shutdown. When the module temperature
cools, the thermal warning pin will open, but the unit
will remain latched off until the input power or the primary or secondary referenced remote on/off is recycled for 1.0 second.
The current monitor (CURMON) pin produces a dc voltage proportional to the dc output current of the module.
The voltage is referenced to the secondary SENSE(–)
pin and is typically 4.8 V at rated output current. For
paralleling with Fx300x modules, consult the factory for
the V/A ratio. The output impedance of this pin is
approximately 20 k¾, so customer detection circuitry
must have a high-impedance input.
Overtemperature Protection
To provide protection in a fault condition, the unit is
equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The shutdown circuit will not engage unless the unit is operated
above the maximum case temperature. Recovery for
the thermal shutdown is accomplished by cycling the
dc input power off for at least 1.0 second or by toggling
the primary or secondary referenced remote on/off signal for at least 1.0 second.
Thermal Considerations
Introduction
The JFC-Series power modules operate in a variety of
thermal environments; however, sufficient cooling
should be provided to help ensure reliable operation of
the units. Heat-dissipating components inside the units
are thermally coupled to the case. Heat is removed by
conduction, convection, and radiation to the surrounding environment. Proper cooling can be verified by
measuring the case temperature. Peak temperature
(TC) occurs at the position indicated in Figure 18.
38.0 (1.50)
Power Good Signal
The power good signal (PWRGOOD pin) is an opencollector, secondary-referenced pin that is pulled low
when all five of the following conditions are met:
MEASURE CASE
TEMPERATURE HERE
7.6 (0.30)
1. The sensed output voltage is greater than half the
rated nominal output voltage.
2. The overvoltage shutdown latch is not set.
3. The thermal shutdown latch is not set.
4. The unit is not in current limit.
5. Secondary internal bias is present.
There is one situation where the power good signal can
be low even though the module has failed. This can
occur when the module is paralleled with other modules for additional output power (i.e., the output ORing
diodes would not be used). If one module power train
stops delivering power (fails), the other paralleled module(s) would provide a voltage at the output pin of the
failed module. The failed module would then not detect
that its output power was not being delivered. However,
in this situation the current monitor pins of the paralleled modules would indicate that current is not being
delivered from one module and that module had failed.
For redundant applications, the ORing diodes would
keep the other module voltages from being applied to
the failed module output and the power good signal
would indicate a failure.

lower value for extremely high reliability.

Heat Transfer Without Heat Sinks
Increasing airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Figure 19 shows the maximum
power that can be dissipated by the module without
exceeding the maximum case temperature versus local
ambient temperature (TA) for natural convection
through 4 m/s (800 ft./min.).
Note that the natural convection condition was measured at 0.05 m/s to 0.1 m/s (10 ft./min. to 20 ft./min.);
however, systems in which this power module may be
used typically generate a natural convection airflow
rate of 0.3 m/s (60 ft./min.) due to other heat dissipating
components in the system. The use of Figure 19 is
shown in the following example.

Heat Transfer with Heat Sinks
The power module has through-threaded, M3 x 0.5
mounting holes, which enable heat sinks or cold plates
to attach to the module. The mounting torque must not
exceed 0.56 N/m (5 in./lb.). For a screw attachment
from the pin side, the recommended hole size on the
customer’s PWB around the mounting holes is
0.130 ± 0.005 inches. If a larger hole is used, the
mounting torque from the pin side must not exceed
0.25 N/m (2.2 in./lb.).
Thermal derating with heat sinks is expressed by using
the overall thermal resistance of the module. Total
module thermal resistance (θca) is defined as the maximum case temperature rise (∆TC, max) divided by the
module power dissipation (PD):
(TC – TA)

The location to measure case temperature (TC) is
shown in Figure 18. Case-to-ambient thermal resistance vs. airflow for various heat sink configurations is
shown in Figure 22. These curves were obtained by
experimental testing of heat sinks, which are offered in
the product catalog.
These measured resistances are from heat transfer
from the sides and bottom of the module as well as the
top side with the attached heat sink; therefore, the
case-to-ambient thermal resistances shown are generally lower than the resistance of the heat sink by itself.

module is operating at VI = 28 V and an output current

and heat sink of 1/2 inch.
Solution
Given: VI = 28 V
IO = 6.7 A

Use Figure 22 to determine air velocity for the 1/2 inch

Thermal Considerations (continued)
Custom Heat Sinks
A more detailed model can be used to determine the
required thermal resistance of a heat sink to provide
necessary cooling. The total module resistance can be
separated into a resistance from case-to-sink (θcs) and
sink-to-ambient (θsa) shown below (Figure 23).

This equation assumes that all dissipated power must
be shed by the heat sink. Depending on the userdefined application environment, a more accurate
model, including heat transfer from the sides and bottom of the module, can be used. This equation provides a conservative estimate for such instances.
