EPC9170KIT – Reference Design Board Powered by ePower™ Chipset
EPC's EPC9170KIT is a 2 kW 48 V/14 V bidirectional DC-DC reference design featuring the ePower 100 V, 65 A integrated circuit chipset
EPC's EPC9170 is a two-phase 48 V/14 V bidirectional converter that delivers 2 kW with 96.8% peak efficiency in a small solution size for 48 V eMobility and 48 V server power.
The reference design features the ePower 100 V, 65 A integrated circuit chipset, which includes the EPC23101 ePower Stage IC plus EPC2302 eGaN® FET for a solution capable of a maximum withstand voltage of 100 V while delivering up to 65 A load current and switching speeds greater than 1 MHz.
The fast-switching speed and low losses of the gallium nitride (GaN) devices allow the converter to operate at 500 kHz, which significantly reduces the size of the solution and exceeds 96.5% efficiency between 60 A and 110 A with 95.8% efficiency at 140 A.
- High efficiency: 95.8% @ 14.3 V/140 A output (buck)
- Small size: 108 mm x 70 mm x 40 mm (4.3 in x 2.8 in x 1.6 in)
- Designed switching frequency: 500 kHz
- Reprogrammable: average current mode control (default)
- Onboard current sensor and temperature sensor
- Fault protection
Applications
- 48 V automotive power – mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV)
- Datacenters
- Servers
