Attention: Please refer to Evaluation Kit Important Notice on page 20 Page 4
Introduction
The MDC901-EVBHB evaluation board is
designed to allow the user to simply and flexibly
evaluate the MDC901 200V GaN gate driver in a
half bridge configuration. The evaluation board
utilizes GaN System’s 100V enhancement mode
HEMTs and Würth Elektronik components. The
kit provides complete out-of-the-box testing
capabilities for quick implementation. At a PCB
size of 80x90mm², the evaluation board is
compact and is accompanied with all required
components to directly begin testing.
This Technical Manual serves the purpose in
providing the kit contents, the EVB schematics
and circuit designs, an EVB handling guide,
measurement conditions and techniques, and
board results.
