EPC Power Conversion (EPC) Announces 450 V Enhanced Gallium Nitride Power Transistors for High Frequency Applications

Supply 0603 blue LED

Power Conversion Corporation EPC (EPC) and 450 V is usually announced in enhancement mode Power Transistor off state (EPC2027), can be used in applications requiring high frequency switch, thereby achieving higher efficiency and power density. Applications that benefit from high-voltage devices with faster switching characteristics include UHF DC-DC converters, medical diagnostics, solar power inverters, and LED lighting applications.

The EPC2027 device features 450 V rated voltage, 400 mΩ maximum on-resistance (RDS(on)) and 4 A output current. The device uses passivated wafers with electrodes for efficient heat dissipation and ease of assembly. The size of the EPC2027 device is 1.95 mm x 1.95 mm to increase power density.

"As off-line adapters and inverters are increasingly demanding smaller, lighter and higher power density designs, there is an increasing demand for devices with higher voltage and faster switching characteristics. 450 V EPC2027 transistors are used. power design engineers can improve the switching frequency of their off-line power conversion system, enabling more efficient and more compact system. Alex Lidow, co-founder and CEO of "power conversion Corporation (EPC) said.

Development board

The EPC9044 development board includes an EPC2027 transistor in a half-bridge configuration with an on-board gate driver, gate drive power supply, and bypass capacitors. This 2-inch by 1.5-inch development board uses the layout for optimal switching performance and includes all the important components, making it easy for engineers to evaluate the EPC2027 GaN FET.
