The EPC2218 from Efficient Power Conversion is an Enhancement Mode GaN Power Transistor that is ideal for BLDC motor drives, class-D audio, DC-DC converters, sync rectification for AC/DC & DC-DC converters, lidar/pulsed power, and LED lighting applications. It has a drain-to-source voltage of over 100 V, a gate threshold voltage of 1.1 V, and a drain-source on-resistance of 2.4 mΩ. This GaN transistor has a continuous drain current of up to 60 A and a pulsed drain current of less than 231 A.
The EPC2218 offers exceptionally high electron mobility and a low-temperature coefficient resulting in a very low drain to source resistance. It consists of a lateral structure that provides a low total gate charge and integrates a majority charge carrier diode that ensures zero reverse recovery charge. This RoHS-compliant power transistor is available as a passivated die that measures 3.5 x 1.95 mm.
