Convection cooled 60 W DC-DC converter achieves 92% efficiency

XP Power today announced the JCK60 series of highly efficient metal cased 60 Watt DC-DC converters aimed at a broad range of telecommunications, networking and industrial applications. Measuring only 2 x 2 x 0.4 inches (50.8 x 50.8 x 10.16 mm), the compact convection cooled JCK60 has a high power density of 37.5 Watts per cubic inch and has no need for any forced air cooling, additional heat sinking or baseplate cooling.

The single output JCK60 series accommodates a 2:1 input voltage range and includes undervoltage lockout. Models are available with either a 24 VDC (18 – 36 VDC) or 48 VDC (36 – 75 VDC) nominal input, and outputs cater for the popular voltages of 3.3, 5, 12 or 15 VDC.   An output trim function allows the adjustment of output voltage of +/- 10% of nominal and remote sense compensates for drops in voltage at the load.

The converter is capable of operating in most environments and across a wide range of temperatures from – 40 to + 85 degrees C. Full output power is available up to + 40 degrees C without derating.
A remote on/off input provides an external control of the output and can be used to sequence start-up procedures. Overvoltage, overload and continuous short circuit protection features are standard across the range. All models have an input to output and input/output to case isolation of 1,600 VDC.

The units meet EN55022 level A conducted and radiated emissions with no external components necessary.

The JCK60 is priced at $77.22 for a 500 pc order and is available from Newark, or direct from XP Power.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
