EPC's EPC9194KIT evaluation board is a 3-phase BLDC motor drive inverter featuring the EPC2302 eGaN FET 1.8 mΩ maximum RDS(ON), 100 V maximum device voltage. The EPC9194 can deliver up to 60 Apk (40 ARMS) steady-state output current. This voltage range and power level make the solution ideal for a variety of 3-phase BLDC motor drive applications with 36 V to 80 V input including eBikes, eScooters, power tools, drones, robots, DC servo, medical robots, and factory automation. GaN enables motor systems that are smaller, lighter, less noisy, have more torque, more range, and greater precision while improving EMI, reducing EMI filtering and capacitor count, and eliminating electrolytic capacitors and input filter inductors.
