IMS 2 Evaluation Platform Overview
1.2.1
Technical Description
Using this platform, power designers can
evaluate the performance of GaN Systems’
E-HEMTs
(Enhancement mode High Electron Mobility Transistors) in high power, high efficiency applications. The
IMS 2 half bridge power board is populated with GaN Systems
’
GS66516B (bottom-side cooled E-HEMT,
rated at 650 V / 25
mΩ
) or GS66508B (bottom-side cooled E-HEMT, rated at 650 V / 50
mΩ)
. The embedded
GaN
PX
® SMD package has the following features:
•
Large power source/thermal pad for improved thermal dissipation.
•
Bottom-side cooled packaging for conventional PCB or advanced IMS/Cu inlay thermal design.
•
Ultra-low inductance for high frequency switching.
