Demonstration Board Noti cation
The EPC9104 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. E cient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) makes no guarantee that the purchased board is 100% RoHS compliant. No
Licenses are implied or granted under any patent right or other intellectual property whatsoever. EPC assumes no liability for applications
assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of patents or any other intellectual property rights of any kind.
EPC reserves the right at any time, without notice, to change said circuitry and speci cations.

    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...
