Please contact your Lineage Power technical
representative to obtain more details of this feature as
well as for guidelines on how to select the right value
of external R-C to tune the module for best transient
performance and stable operation for other output
capacitance values.

Over Temperature Protection

The JNC350R module provides with non-latching over
temperature protection. A temperature sensor
monitors the operating temperature of the converter. If
the reference temperature exceeds a threshold of
110ºC (typical) at the center of the baseplate, the
converter will shut down and disable the output. When
the baseplate temperature has decreased by
approximately 20 ºC the converter will automatically
restart.
The module can be restarted by cycling the dc input
power for at least one second or by toggling the
remote on/off signal for at least one second.

Thermal Considerations

The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should be
provided to help ensure reliable operation of the unit.
Heat-dissipating components inside the unit 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 (T

REF

) occurs at the position indicated in

Figure 19.
Considerations include ambient temperature, airflow,
module power dissipation, and the need for increased
reliability. A reduction in the operating temperature of
the module will result in an increase in reliability. The
thermal data presented here is based on physical
measurements taken in a wind tunnel.

For reliable operation this temperature should not
exceed 100ºC at T

REF

for cold plate. The output power

of the module should not exceed the rated power for
the module as listed in the ordering Information table.
Although the maximum T

REF

temperature of the power

modules is discussed above, you can limit this
temperature to a lower value for extremely high
reliability.

Thermal Derating

The thermal derating presented in Figure 20 has the
JNC350R module thermally coupled to a cold plate
inside a sealed clamshell chassis, without any internal
air circulation. Please contact your Lineage Power
sales representative for information regarding
applications where the module is cooled by heat
removal into a forced airflow that passes through the
interior of the module and over the top baseplate
and/or attached heatsink.
