THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS The EPC9104 demonstration system showcases the EPC2014 eGaN Mechanically FET in a wireless application. Although the electrical performance Attached Source Coil to these surpasses that for traditional Si devices, their relatively smaller locations size does magnify the thermal management requirements. The EPC9104 is intended for bench evaluation with low ambient tem- perature and convection cooling with load power up to 10 W (the Device...

QUICK START PROCEDURE www.epc-co.com b. Operation using an external oscillator Do not use Using an external oscillator allows the user to specify an operating probe ground lead frequency. The external oscillator voltage may be pure AC (sine or square wave) or have a DC o set (see Table 1 for voltage limits).
LOAD SETTINGS www.epc-co.com The device board comes pre-equipped with various loads that can be manually programmed to speci c values. Table 2 provides a list 9. Once operational, adjust the main supply voltage and oscil- of all possible combinations to set the load. This list is the recom-...
