EPC2012 – Enhancement Mode Power Transistor
VDSS , 200 VRDS(ON) , 100 mWID , 3 A
Gallium Nitride is grown on Silicon Wafers and processed using standard CMOS equipment leverag-ing the infrastructure that has been developed over the last 55 years. GaN’s exceptionally high elec-tron mobility and low temperature coefficient allows very low RDS(ON), while its lateral device structure and majority carrier diode provide exceptionally low QG and zero QRR. The end result is a device that can handle tasks where very high switching frequency, and low on-time are beneficial as well as those where on-state losses dominate. EPC2012 eGaN® FETs are supplied only in
passivated die form with solder bars
Applications• HighSpeedDC-DCconversion• ClassDAudio• HardSwitchedandHighFrequencyCircuits
Benefits• UltraHighEfficiency• UltraLowRDS(on)
• UltralowQG
• Ultrasmallfootprint
