The designed PFC evaluation board consists of three major parts. They are the PFC controller daughter board, GS66516T half-bridge daughter board, and the mother board. The PFC control chip is the UCD3138 IC chip from Texas Instruments. The GS66516T devices from GaN Systems are chosen for the fast GaN E-HEMT [3]. The IXFH80N65X2 is chosen for the Si MOSFET switches. The system block diagram is shown in Figure 3.2. The mother board consists of EMI filter, start up circuit, line frequency Si MOSFETs and their gate drive circuits, and voltage and current sensing circuits. The PFC controller daughter board requires 3.3-V input and it includes current, input line voltage and output voltage sampling pins as inputs. The outputs are 4 PWM pins, in which 2 of them are applied to the GaN half bridge and the other 2 are applied to the line frequency Si MOSFETs.
