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.

Summary of Features
Simple GaN half-bridge with dedicated GaN driver ICs
Configurable auxiliary supply: unipolar vs. bipolar (with regulation on positive or negative rail), isolated vs non-isolated (bootstrap)
Shunt on low-side GaN for current measurement
Benefits
Easy setup and use
Enable testing with different configurations (Buck, Boost, Direct and Reverse Double Pulse)
Evaluate high-frequency capabilities of GaN
Evaluate waveforms with low ringing, overshoot, EMI
Enables easy evaluation at multi-kilowatt power levels
Shoot-through check and Eoss measurements via current shunt
Potential Applications
Telecom power supply
Server power supply
Micro inverter solutions
