EPC9044 - Development Board

EPC9044 : 400 V Half-Bridge Development Board

The EPC9044 development board has a 400 V maximum device voltage, 1.5 A maximum output current, in a half-bridge topology with onboard gate drives, featuring the EPC2027 enhancement-mode (eGaN^®) field effect transistor (FET)

The purpose of this development board is to simplify the evaluation process of the EPC2027 eGaN FET by including all the critical components on a single board that can be easily connected into any existing converter.

Status: Obsolete
The GaN Experts recommend EPC90121 for new designs

EPC9044 Waveforms Waveforms for EPC9044 operation as a 320 V to 12 V / 1.5 A (50 kHz) buck converter
CH1: PWM Input – CH2: Inductor current – CH4: (V_OUT) Switch node voltage

* Maximum current depends on die temperature – actual maximum current with be subject to switching frequency, bus voltage and thermal cooling.
# Dependent on time needed to ‘refresh’ high side bootstrap supply voltage.
