EVLMG6

EVLMG6 is a GaN-based half-bridge power module equipped with MASTERGAN6, which quickly creates new topologies without needing a complete PCB design. The module is shipped with available footprint locations for low side resistors (set to zero) and for two external body diodes (not mounted), connected in parallel to each half-bridge GaN. The module can be easily configured to operate with many resonant and hard switching topologies. The VCC supply can be derived directly from the application IC controller. On-board bootstrap diode supplies the high side VBOOT voltage and ensures extremely quick high side section activation. MASTERGAN6 has two internal LDO that quickly generate the optimal 6V supply for the two high side and low side GaN drivers. The module accepts separate driving signals having an amplitude range between 3V and 16V independently from VCC level. The EVLMG6 is a 30 x 42mm wide FR-4 PCB, resulting in an Rth(J-A) of approximately 40°C/W, without forced airflow.
