The GS665XXX-EVBDB daughter board style evaluation kit consists of two GaN Systems 650V GaN 
Enhancement-mode  HEMTs (E-HEMTs) and all necessary circuits including half bridge gate drivers, 
isolated power supplies and optional heatsink to form a functional half bridge power stage. It allows 
users to easily evaluate the GaN E-HEMT performance in any half bridge-based topology, either with the 
universal mother board (P/N: GS665MB-EVB) or users’ own system design for quick prototyping.  
 

 

Serves as a reference design and evaluation tool as well as deployment-ready solution for easy in-
system evaluation.  

 

Vertical mount style with height of 35mm, which fits in majority of 1U design and allows 
evaluation of GaN E-HEMT in traditional through-hole type power supply board. 

 

Current shunt position for switching characterization testing 

 

Universal form factor and footprint for all products 

 
The daughter board and universal mother board ordering part numbers are below:

2x3 pin header J1 are listed below: 

Pin 

Descriptipon 

ENA 

Enable input. It is internally pulled up to VCC, a low logic disables all the PWM gate 
drive outputs. 

VCC 

+5V auxillary power supply input for logic circuit and gate driver. On the daughter 
board there are 2 isolated 5V to 9V DC/DC power supplies for top and bottom switches. 

VDRV 

Optional 9V gate drive power input. This pin allows users to supply separate gate drive 
power supply. By default VDRV is connected to VCC on the daughter board via a 0 ohm 
jumper FB1. If bootstrap mode is used for high side gate drive, connect VDRV to 9V  

PWMH  High side PWM logic input for top switch Q1. It is compatible wth 3.3V and 5V 
PWML 

Low side PWM logic input for bottom switch Q2. It is compatible wth 3.3V and 5V 

0V 

Logic inputs and gate drive power supply ground return.
