Other low-voltage applications benefiting from the fast-switching speeds and ultra-high efficiency of the EPC2055 include LED lighting, 12 to 24V input motor drivers, and lidar systems for robotics, drones, and autonomous cars.
Alex Lidow, EPC’s Co-founder and CEO, said: “The EPC2055 is a very good example of the rapid evolution of GaN FET technology. This 40 volt device offers both smaller size and reduced parasitics compared with previous-generation 40V GaN FETs and at lower cost; thus, offering designers both improved performance and cost savings.”
The EPC90132 development board is a 40V maximum device voltage, 25A maximum output current, half bridge with onboard gate drives, featuring the EPC2055 eGaN FETs. This 2×2” board is designed for optimal switching performance and contains all critical components for easy evaluation of the EPC2055. Both the EPC2055 and EPC90132 are available to order from Digi-Key.
