EVAL_2EDB_HB_GAN
CoolGaN™ GIT HEMT half-bridge evaluation board with EiceDRIVER™ 2EDB8259Y
EVAL_2EDB_HB_GaN enables the testing of Infineon CoolGaN™ GIT HEMT in combination with EiceDRIVER™ 2EDB8259Y. The board allows to configure the auxiliary supply, that can be bipolar or unipolar, isolated or non-isolated, with bootstrap or without. Using an external inductor, the board can be configured for buck or boost-mode, double-pulse testing or continuous PWM operation, hard or soft-switching at power levels to several kW and frequencies up to MHz range. This board saves the user from having to design their own gate driver and power circuit to evaluate gallium nitride transistors.
