EPC9137KIT(#2): 48V @ 29A, 11.3 ~ 16V in, Boost

The EPC9528 module is programmed as a Buck converter by default. To change to Boost converter, please re-program the module with the boost firmware available at the EPC website. Using the incorrect firmware could result in damage.

Every effort has been made to ensure all control features function as specified. It may be necessary to provide updates to the firmware. Please check the EPC and Microchip websites for the latest firmware updates.

The EPC9137 evaluation power module is designed for 48 V to/from 12 V DC-to-DC applications.

It features the EPC2206 – enhancement mode eGaN® field effect transistors (FETs) with AEC-Q101 qualification. The EPC9137 is controlled using the EPC9528 controller module that includes the Microchip dsPIC33CK256MP503 16-bit digital controller.

Other features include:

• High efficiency:

  >95.7% @ 12 V/125 A output (buck)

  >95.2% @ 48 V/29 A output (boost)

• Preset switching frequency: 250 kHz

• Re-programmable – Average current mode control (default)

Fault protection:

• Input undervoltage

• Input overvoltage

• Regulation error

• Input undervoltage

• Inductor overcurrent

• Overtemperature
