EPC9052/53/54 Development Boards

EPC's GaN-based differential mode development boards can operate up to 30 MHz. These boards provide an easy-to-use way for power systems designers to evaluate the exceptional performance of gallium nitride transistors and get their products into volume production quickly. These development boards are designed for class-E applications, such as wireless charging, but can be used for any application where a low-side switch is utilized. Examples include push-pull converters; current-mode class-D amplifiers; common source bidirectional switches; generic high-voltage narrow pulse width applications, such as LiDAR; and many more.

These development boards feature 200 V rated eGaN FETs. The amplifiers are set to operate in differential mode and can be reconfigured to operate in single-ended mode and include the gate driver and logic supply regulator. All three boards have common preference specifications. The operating load conditions, including configuration, determine the optimal design load voltage and resistance.
