EPC9038 - Development Board

EPC9038 : 60 V Development Board for
Enhancement Mode Monolithic Half-Bridge
98% System Efficiency at 18 A

The EPC9038 development board has a 60 V maximum device voltage, 20 A maximum output current, in a half-bridge topology with onboard gate drives, featuring the EPC2102 eGaNIC (Enhancement-mode Gallium Nitride Integrated Circuit).

The purpose of this development board is to simplify the evaluation process of the EPC2102 eGaNIC by including all the critical components on a single board that can be easily connected into any existing converter.

Typical Efficiency: V_IN=42 V, V_OUT=14 V

*Maximum input voltage depends on inductive loading.
** Maximum current depends on die temperature – actual maximum current will be subject to switching frequency, bus voltage and thermal cooling.
Symmetrical eGaNIC intended for 50% duty cycle or low step-down ratio applications.
# Limited by time needed to ‘refresh’ high side bootstrap supply voltage.
