EPC would like to acknowledge Würth Electronics (www.we-online.com/web/en/wuerth_elektronik/start.php), Coilcraft (www.coilcraft.com), and KDS Daishinku America (www.kdsamerica.com) for their support of this project. Addendum Statement; Ongoing testing of the EPC9509 revealed that the improvement in performance of the EPC2108 based design exceeded that of earlier design criteria and as such the design could further be improved to increase efficiency by changing Lzvs1 and Lzvs2 from 390nH (Coilcraft 2929SQ-391JEB) to 500nH (Coilcraft 2929SQ-501JEB).
Demonstration Board Notification The EPC9509 board is intended for product evaluation purposes only and is not intended for commercial use. As an evaluation tool, it is not designed for compliance with the European Union directive on electromagnetic compatibility or any other such directives or regulations. As board builds are at times subject to product availability, it is possible that boards may contain components or assembly materials that are not RoHS compliant.
