EPC EPC2306 | Demoboard EPC90145

Description

The EPC90145 is a half bridge evaluation board with onboard gate drives, featuring the 100 V rated EPC2306 eGaN® field effect transistor (FET). The purpose of this evaluation board is to simplify the evaluation process of the EPC2306 by including all the critical components on a single board that can be easily connected into the majority of existing converter topologies.The EPC90145 evaluation board measures 2” x 2” and contains two EPC2306 eGaN FET in a half bridge configuration and one EPC2038 GaN FET used to augment the bootstrap supply. The EPC90145 features the uPI Semiconductor uP1966E gate driver. The board also contains all critical components and the layout supports optimal switching performance. There are also various probe points to facilitate simple waveform measurement and efficiency calculation. A block diagram of the circuit is given in figure 1.
