Isolated Gate Driver Plus GaN FET Reference Designs
Skyworks Solutions and EPC partner together to simplify the evaluation process of their eGaN FETs
Skyworks Solutions' isolation technology simplifies design and offers the industry's best timing characteristics, highest reliability, and lowest emissions. Customers rely on our solutions to achieve higher system efficiency, higher noise immunity, improve safety, and reduce footprint. These reference designs were developed to enable quick customer adoption and accelerated time-to-market.
Skyworks Solutions' partnership with EPC enables designers to take advantage of reference designs that simplify the evaluation process of eGAN FETs. These reference designs feature half-bridge topology with on-board gate drives and include all the critical components and layout for optimal switching performance. Most of the boards can be used to easily develop a working prototype and require only the LC output filter and terminals to be added.
- Low latency: 10 ns typical
- CMTI 50 kV/μs typical
- UL, CSA, and VDE certified isolation: 2.5 kV, 3.75 kV, and 5 kV options
- 60-year life at rated working voltage
- AEC-Q100 qualification
- DC-DC converters
- Power inverters
- Class D audio amplifiers
- Solar inverters
- Motor drive
EPC Half Bridge Plus Driver Development Tools
Half-bridge development boards simplify the evaluation process of these eGaN FETs by including all the critical components and layout for optimal switching performance on a single board that can be easily connected into any existing converter.
