Description
The JRCW450R ORCA™ series of dc-dc converters are a new generation of isolated, very high efficiency DC/DC
power modules providing up to 450W output power in an industry standard, DOSA compliant 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 heatsink 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
, that 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.

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
time-delay or fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 25 A in the ungrounded input connection (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.

Test Configurations
Note: Measure the input reflected-ripple current with a
simulated source inductance (LTEST) of 12 µH. Capacitor CS
offsets possible battery impedance. Measure the current, as
shown above.
Figure 7. Input Reflected Ripple Current Test Setup.
Note: Use a Cout (470 µF Low ESR aluminum or tantalum
capacitor typical), a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF
ceramic capacitor, and Scope measurement should be made
using a BNC socket. Position the load between 51 mm and 76
mm (2 in. and 3 in.) from the module.
Figure 8. Output Ripple and Noise Test Setup.
Note: All measurements are taken at the module terminals.
When socketing, place Kelvin connections at module terminals
to avoid measurement errors due to socket contact resistance.
Figure 9. Output Voltage and Efficiency Test Setup.
Design Considerations
Input Source Impedance
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance source. A highly inductive source
impedance can affect the stability of the power module.
For the test configuration in Figure 7, a 470F Low
ESR aluminum capacitor, CIN , mounted close to the
power module helps ensure the stability of the unit.
Consult the factory for further application guidelines.
Output Capacitance
The JRCW450R power module requires a minimum
output capacitance of 440µF Low ESR aluminum
capacitor, Cout to ensure stable operation over the full
range of load and line conditions, see Figure 8. If the
ambient temperature is under -20C, it is required to use
at least 3 pcs of minimum capacitors in parallel. In
general, the process of determining the acceptable
values of output capacitance and ESR is complex and
is load-dependent.
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., UL 60950-1, 2nd Ed., CSA No. 60950-1 2nd Ed.,
and VDE0805-1 EN60950-1, 2nd Ed.
For end products connected to –48V dc, or –60Vdc
nominal DC MAINS (i.e. central office dc battery plant),
no further fault testing is required. *Note: -60V dc
nominal battery plants are not available in the U.S. or
Canada.
For all input voltages, other than DC MAINS, where the
input voltage is less than 60V dc, if the input meets all
of the requirements for SELV, then:
The output may be considered SELV. Output
voltages will remain within SELV limits even with
internally-generated non-SELV voltages. Single
component failure and fault tests were performed
in the power converters.
One pole of the input and one pole of the output
are to be grounded, or both circuits are to be kept
floating, to maintain the output voltage to ground
voltage within ELV or SELV limits. However, SELV
will not be maintained if VI(+) and VO(+) are
grounded simultaneously.

LINEAGE POWER 7
Safety Considerations (continued)
For all input sources, other than DC MAINS, where the
input voltage is between 60 and 75V dc (Classified as
TNV-2 in Europe), the following must be meet, if the
converter’s output is to be evaluated for SELV:
The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any hazardous voltage, including
the ac mains.
One Vi pin and one Vo pin are to be reliably
earthed, or both the input and output pins are to be
kept floating.
Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the
whole system, as required by the safety agencies,
on the combination of supply source and the
subject module to verify that under a single fault,
hazardous voltages do not appear at the module’s
output.
All flammable materials used in the manufacturing of
these modules are rated 94V-0, or tested to the
UL60950 A.2 for reduced thickness.
The input to these units is to be provided with a
maximum 25 A fast-acting or time-delay fuse in the
ungrounded input connection.
Feature Description
Remote On/Off
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic
turns the module on during a logic high voltage on the
ON/OFF pin, and off during a logic low. Negative logic
remote On/Off, device code suffix “1”, 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 (open collector or equivalent) to control
the voltage (Von/off) between the ON/OFF terminal and
the VIN(-) terminal (see Figure 10). Logic low is
0V Von/off 1.2V. The maximum Ion/off during a logic
low is 1mA, the switch should be maintain a logic low
level whilst sinking this current.
During a logic high, the typical maximum Von/off
generated by the module is 5V, and the maximum
allowable leakage current at Von/off = 5V is 50A.
If not using the remote on/off feature:
For positive logic, leave the ON/OFF pin open.
For negative logic, short the ON/OFF pin to VIN(-).
Figure 10. Circuit configuration for using Remote
On/Off Implementation.
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault output overload
condition, the module is equipped with internal current
limiting protection circuitry, and can endure continuous
overcurrent by providing constant current output, for up
to 4 seconds, as long as the output voltage is greater
than VtrimMIN. If the load resistance is to low to support
VtrimMIN in an overcurrent condition or a short circuit load
condition exists, the module will shutdown immediately.
A latching shutdown option is standard. Following
shutdown, the module will remain off until the module is
reset by either cycling the input power or by toggling
the on/off pin for one second.
An auto-restart option (4) is also available in a case
where an auto recovery is required. If overcurrent
greater than 19A persists for few milli-seconds, the
module will shut down and auto restart until the fault
condition is corrected. If the output overload condition
still exists when the module restarts, it will shut down
again. This operation will continue indefinitely, until the
overcurrent condition is corrected.
Over Voltage Protection
The output overvoltage protection consists of circuitry
that monitors the voltage on the output terminals. If the
voltage on the output terminals exceeds the over
voltage protection threshold, then the module will
shutdown and latch off. The overvoltage latch is reset
by either cycling the input power for one second or by
toggling the on/off signal for one second. The
protection mechanism is such that the unit can continue
in this condition until the fault is cleared.
An auto-restart option (4) is also available in a case
where an auto recovery is required.

Feature Description (continued)
Remote sense
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution
losses by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense
connections (see Figure 11). For No Trim or Trim down
application, 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.:
[Vo(+)–Vo(-)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(-)] 2% of V・o,nom
The voltage between the Vo(+) and Vo(-) terminals
must not exceed the minimum output overvoltage shut-
down value indicated in the Feature Specifications
table. This limit includes any increase in voltage due to
remote-sense compensation and output voltage set-
point adjustment (trim). See Figure 11. If not using the
remote-sense feature to regulate the output at the point
of load, then connect SENSE(+) to Vo(+) and
SENSE(-) to Vo(-) at the module.
Although the output voltage can be increased by both
the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum
increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both.
The maximum increase is the larger of either the
remote sense or the trim. The amount of power
delivered by the module is defined as the voltage at the
output terminals multiplied by the output current. When
using remote sense and trim: the output voltage of the
module can be increased, which at the same output
current would increase the power output of the module.
Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
output power of the module remains at or below the
maximum rated power.
Figure 11. Effective Circuit Configuration for Single-
Module Remote-Sense Operation Output Voltage.
Output Voltage Programming
Trimming allows the user to increase or decrease the
output voltage set point of a module. Trimming down is
accomplished by connecting an external resistor
between the TRIM pin and the SENSE(-) pin. Trimming
up is accomplished by connecting external resistor
between the SENSE(+) pin and TRIM pin. The trim
resistor should be positioned close to the module.
Certain restrictions apply to the input voltage lower limit
when trimming the output voltage to the maximum. See
Figure 12 for the allowed input to output range when
using trim. If not using the trim down feature, leave the
TRIM pin open.
Figure 12. Output Voltage Trim Limits vs. Input
Voltage.
Trim Down – Decrease Output Voltage
With an external resistor (Radj_down) between the TRIM
and SENSE(-) pins, the output voltage set point (Vo,adj)
decreases (see Figure 13). The following equation

obtain a percentage output voltage change of %.

Active Voltage Programming
For both the JRCW450Rx and JRCW450Rx-T, a
Digital-Analog converter (DAC), capable of both
sourcing and sinking current, can be used to actively
set the output voltage, as shown in Figure 15. The
value of RG will be dependent on the voltage step and
range of the DAC and the desired values for trim-up
and trim-down %. Please contact your Lineage Power
technical representative to obtain more details on the
selection for this resistor.
Figure 15. Circuit Configuration to Actively Adjust
the Output Voltage.
Tunable Loop™
The JRCW450Rx-T modules have a new feature that
optimizes transient response of the module called
Tunable Loop™.
External capacitors are usually added to the output of
the module for two reasons: to reduce output ripple
and noise and to reduce output voltage deviations from
the steady-state value in the presence of dynamic load
current changes. Adding external capacitance however
affects the voltage control loop of the module, typically
causing the loop to slow down with sluggish response.
Larger values of external capacitance could also cause
the module to become unstable.
The Tunable LoopTM allows the user to externally adjust
the voltage control loop to match the filter network
connected to the output of the module. The Tunable
LoopTM is implemented by connecting a series R-C

between the SENSE(+) and TRIM pins of the module,

compensation of the module.

Over Temperature Protection
The JRCW450R module provides a non-latching over
temperature protection. A temperature sensor monitors
the operating temperature of the converter. If the
reference temperature, TREF 1, (see Figure 17) exceeds
a threshold of 115 ºC (typical), the converter will shut
down and disable the output. When the base plate
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 (TREF) occurs at the position indicated in
Figure 17.
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 either TREF 1 or TREF 2 for applications
using forced convection airflow or cold plate
applications. 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
TREF temperature of the power modules is discussed
above, you can limit this temperature to a lower value
for extremely high reliability.

Thermal Derating
Thermal derating is presented for two different
applications: 1) Figure 18, the JRCW450R module is
thermally coupled to a cold plate inside a sealed
clamshell chassis, without any internal air circulation;
and 2) Figure 19, 20 and 21, the JRCW450R module is
mounted in a traditional open chassis or cards with
forced air flow. In application 1, the module is cooled
entirely by conduction of heat from the module primarily
through the top surface to a cold plate, with some
conduction through the module’s pins to the power
layers in the system board. For application 2, the
module is cooled by heat removal into a forced airflow
that passes through the interior of the module and over
the top base plate and/or attached heatsink.

Layout Considerations
The JRCW450R power module series are constructed
using a single PWB with integral base plate; as such,
component clearance between the bottom of the power
module and the mounting (Host) board is limited. Avoid
placing copper areas on the outer layer directly
underneath the power module.
Post Solder Cleaning and Drying
Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board
assembly process prior to electrical board testing. The
result of inadequate 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 Lineage Power Board Mounted Power
Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application Note.
Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering
Information
The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the
SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
components. They are designed to be processed
through single or dual wave soldering machines. The
pins have an RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible
with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes. A
maximum preheat rate of 3C/s is suggested. The
wave preheat process should be such that the
temperature of the power module board is kept below
210C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot
temperature is 260C, while the Pb-free solder pot is
270C max. The JRCW450R can not be processed
with paste-through-hole Pb or Pb-free reflow process.
If additional information is needed, please consult with
your Lineage Power representative for more details.
