TDHBG2500P100 2.5 kW Half-Bridge Evaluation Board

Transphorm offers their TDHBG2500P100 evaluation board which can be used for evaluation of basic switching functionality in a variety of circuit configurations

Image of Transphorm's TDHBG2500P100: 2.5 kW Half-Bridge Evaluation BoardThe TDHBG2500P100 half-bridge evaluation board provides the elements of a simple buck or boost converter for basic study of switching characteristics and efficiency achievable with Transphorm’s 650 V GaN FETs. In either buck or boost mode the circuit can be configured for synchronous rectification. Jumpers allow use of a single logic input or separate hi/lo inputs. The high-voltage input and output can operate at up to 400 VDC, with a power output of up to 2.5 kW. The inductor provided is intended for efficient operation at 100 kHz, although other inductors and other frequencies may be easily used.

TDHGB2500P100 Input/Output Specifications
  • High-voltage input/output: 400 VDC max
  • Logic inputs: nominal 0 V to 5 V
    • Pulse-generation circuit: Vlo<1.5 V, Vhi>3.0 V
    • Direct connection to gate driver: Vlo<0.8 V, Vhi>2.0 V
    • SMA coaxial connectors
  • Auxiliary supply (J1): 10V min, 18 V max
  • Switching frequency: configuration-dependent
    • Lower limit determined by peak inductor current
    • Upper limit determined by desired dead-time and power dissipation
