QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure 1: Block Diagram of EPC9115 Demonstration Board

Demonstration board EPC9115 is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the EPC2020 and EPC2021 eGaN FETs and LM5113 and UCC27611 drivers. Refer to Figure 2 for proper connect and measurement setup and follow the procedure below:

1. With power off, connect the input power supply bus betweenVIN+ and VIN- euro connectors as shown.

2. Add input and output voltage measurements to the Kelvinconnections provided as shown.

3. With power off, connect the load as desired between VOUT+ and VOUT- euro connectors as shown. A resistive or constant current load isrecommended.

4. Turn on the supply voltage to the required value. Do not exceed theabsolute maximum voltage of 60 V on VIN.

5. Measure the output voltage to make sure the board is fully functionaland operating no-load.

6. Turn on active load and adjust to the desired load current while stayingbelow the maximum current (This will depend on the cooling provided. If no forced air cooling, then keep the load current below 5 A).

7. If testing under moderate to full load conditions, ensure that a fanor other source of forced convection is producing adequate airflow (≥ 400 LFM recommended for full load operation).

8. Once operational, adjust the bus voltage and load current within theallowed operating range and observe the output switching behavior, efficiency and other parameters.

9. For shutdown, please follow steps in reverse.NOTE. For accurate high frequency content switch node and gate voltage waveforms, use a short ground clip or purpose-made probe adapter, as shown in Fig. 3. Avoid long ground leads on oscilloscope probes. Please note that primary and secondary side grounds are not connected to each other on the EPC9115 demo board. When measuring multiple signals ensure that they are always referenced to the same ‘ground’ potential to avoid potential circuit failure or instrumentation failure.

CIRCUIT PERFORMANCEThe EPC9115 demonstration circuit was designed to showcase the size and performance that can readily be achieved using eGaN FETs. The 300 kHz operating frequency is 50% - 100% higher than typical commercial eighth-brick converters.

Figure 4 shows typical full-load waveforms for a 52 V input voltage using probe tip adapters as shown in Figure 3. Figure 5 shows efficiency plots for several input voltages at 400 LFM (2 m/s) airflow at 25 °C. Data are taken after converter reaches thermal steady state.

OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS

The EPC9115 is a demonstration platform intended to show the capabilities of eGaN FETs in an eighth-brick application. The converter has basic regulation and overcurrent protection, but the complete feature set often found with 1/8th-brick converters is not implemented. In particular, the EPC9115 does not have overvoltage, over-temperature, or fast-acting short-circuit protection. Hence, the circuit is recommended for power stage and efficiency evaluation purposes. The transient response has not been optimized.

SOURCE and LOAD: It is recommended that the converter be driven from a source with both low ac and dc impedance. Additional input capacitance may be added as necessary. Additional output capacitance may be added to the output in the form of electrolytic capacitors, up to 1000 μF. Addition of bulk capacitance in the form of low ESR capacitors is not recommended.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT: The EPC9115 demo board has no on-board thermal protection. Thermal images for steady state full load operation are shown in Figure 6. The EPC9115 is intended for bench evaluation with nominal room ambient temperature and forced air cooling. Operation without forced air cooling is possible for limited power operation. It is recommended that the maximum temperature on the EPC9115 not exceed 125 °C.

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: Overcurrent protection is set at a nominal value of 50 A at room temperature. Current sensing is implemented using inductor DCR sensing, and as a result exhibits variability as a function of the inductor and its temperature. As the inductor becomes hotter, the trip point becomes lower.

The EPC9115 demo board does not have any input overvoltage protection on board. It is also recommended to make sure that the converter is started with an output voltage of 1V or less.

Figure 5: Typical efficiency curves. Operating conditions: 400 LFM (2 m/s) forced convection, ambient temperature 27 °C, thermal steady state. The converter is running unregulated for the 48 V case.
