Description
The JNC350R series of dc-dc converters are a new generation of isolated DC/DC power modules providing up to 350W
output power in an industry standard half-brick size footprint, which makes it an ideal choice for high voltage and high
power applications. Threaded-through holes are provided to allow easy mounting or addition of a heat sink for high-
temperature applications. The output is fully isolated from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and
grounding connections. This module contains an optional new feature, the Tunable Loop
TM
, which allows the user to
optimize the dynamic response of the converter to match the load with reduced amount of output capacitance, leading to
savings on cost and PWB area.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Data Sheet
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute
stress ratings only, functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those
given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can
adversely affect the device reliability.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to being an
integrated part of complex power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included. Always use
an input line fuse, to achieve maximum safety and system protection. The safety agencies require a fast-acting fuse with a
maximum rating of 30 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 sheet for further information.

2. When operating at output current between 0A

, output ripple may exceed maximum pk-pk limits.
3. Use a minimum 2 x 220uF output capacitor. Recommended capacitor is Nichicon CD series, 220uF/35V. If the ambient temperature is
less than 0°C, use 3x of the minimum C

.
4. External capacitors may require using the new Tunable Loop™ feature to ensure that the module is stable as well as getting the best
transient response. See the Tunable Loop™ section for details.
