Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) Introduces Development Board for High Current, High Step-Down Buck Converter Applications

EPC9016 development board features 40 V, 33 A enhancement mode gallium nitride (eGaN®) FETs in parallel operation increasing current capability by 67% and optimum layout techniques maximize efficiency.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.— April, 2014 — Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) introduces the EPC9016 half-bridge development board for high current, high step-down voltage, buck Intermediate Bus Converter (IBC) applications using eGaN FETs. In this application two low-side (synchronous rectifier) field effect transistors (FETs) are connected in parallel since they will be conducting for a much longer period compared to the single high side (control) FET.
