Demonstration System EPC9087
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The EPC9087 development board showcases the EPC2037 eGaN FET.
The EPC9087 is intended for bench evaluation with low ambient
temperature and convection cooling. The addition of heat-sinking and
forced air cooling can significantly increase the current rating of these
devices, but care must be taken to not exceed the absolute maximum
die temperature of 150°C.
NOTE
. The EPC9087 development board does not have any current or
thermal protection on board.
For more information regarding the thermal performance of EPC eGaN
FETs, please consult:
