Efficient Power Conversion expands the easy-to-use DrGaNPLUS evaluation board family for power system design engineers, making it easy for engineers to evaluate the power systems they design and use with superior GaN field-effect transistors (eGaN FETs) Achieve mass production. These evaluation boards are conceptually validated designs that integrate the components required for all half-bridge circuits into monolithic, ultra-small, and PCB-based modules that can be surface mounted directly onto the PCB at any time for display. Excellent power conversion solution for GaN transistors. An example of improved performance can be found in the EPC9203 evaluation board, which is a "plug and play" evaluation board for an 80 V, 20 A half-bridge power converter. Engineers can easily use it to quickly evaluate high-performance power systems using GaN field effect = transistors (eGaN FETs). The board (V Vin is 48 V and Vout is 12 V) achieves a maximum system total efficiency of over 97.5%, including power stages, inductors, drivers, capacitors, and PCB board power. The two boards operate on the same principle and can be driven by a single or dual channel PWM input, including eGaN FETs, Texas Instruments' LM5113 drivers, and high frequency input capacitors. The DrGaNPLUS evaluation board is small (just 11 mm x 12 mm) and can be mounted directly on the PCB. In addition, the board uses an optimal layout to minimize the effects of loop inductance during CSI and high frequency power conversion. Alex Lidow, co-founder and CEO of Epson Power Conversion, said: "In addition to the need for higher performance, lower cost and reliability, the new technology is an important factor that has to be widely adopted. It must be easy to use. DrGaNPLUS evaluation The board provides power conversion system design engineers with a quick method and easy-to-use tool to evaluate the superior performance of their power system circuits and the GaN field-effect transistors (eGaN FETs) they use."
