The EPC9005C development board is a 40V maximum device voltage, 7A maximum output current, half bridge with onboard gate drives, featuring the EPC2014C enhancement mode (eGaN®) field effect transistor (FET). The purpose of this development board is to simplify the evaluation process of the EPC2014C eGaN FET by including all the critical components on a single board that can be easily connected into any existing converter.
The EPC9005C development board is 2" x 1.5" and contains two EPC2014C eGaN FET in a half bridge configuration using Texas Instruments LM5113 gate driver, supply and bypass capacitors. The board contains all critical components and layout for optimal switching performance. There are also various probe points to facilitate simple waveform measurement and efficiency calculation. A complete block diagram of the circuit is given in Figure 1.
For more information on the EPC2014Cs eGaN FET please refer to the datasheet which should be read in conjunction with this quick start guide. GaN
