Demonstration System EPC9506
DESCRIPTION
The EPC9506 is a high eciency, Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS),
Class-D Wireless Power amplier demonstration board operating
at 6.78 MHz (Lowest ISM band). The purpose of this demonstration
system is to simplify the evaluation process of wireless power technology
using eGaN® FETs by including all the critical components on a single
board that can be easily connected into an existing system.
The amplier board features the EPC2014 (40 V rated - EPC9506)
enhancement mode eld eect transistor (FET) in an optional
half-bridge topology (single ended conguration) or default full-
bridge topology (dierential conguration), and includes the
gate driver/s and oscillator that ensures operation of the system
at 6.78 MHz. The amplifer board can also be operated using an
external oscillator.
The amplier board is equipped with a pre-regulator that limits the current
of the supply to the amplier. As the amplier draws more current, which
can be due to the absence of a device coil, the pre-regulator will reduce
the voltage being supplied to the amplier that will ensure a safe oper-
ating point. The pre-regulator also monitors the temperature of the main
amplier FETs and will reduce current if the temperature exceeds 85°C.
The pre-regulator can be bypassed to allow testing with custom control
hardware. The board further allows easy access to critical measurement
nodes that allow accurate power measurement instrumentation hookup.
A simplied diagram of the amplier board is given in Figure 1.
For more information on the EPC2014 eGaN FET please refer to the data-
sheet available from EPC at www.epc-co.com. The data-sheet should be
read in conjunction with this quick start guide.

DESCRIPTION
The Amplier Board (EPC9506)
Figure 1 shows a diagram of the EPC9506 ZVS class D amplier with pre-
regulator. The pre-regulator is set to a specied DC output current limit (up
to 1.5 A) by adjusting P49 and operates from 8 V through 36 V input. The
output voltage of the pre-regulator is limited to approximately 2 V below
the input voltage. The pre-regulator can be bypassed by moving the jumper
(JP60) over from the right 2 pins to the left 2 pins. To measure the current
the amplier is drawing, an ammeter can be inserted in place of the jumper
(JP60) in the location based on the operating mode (pre-regulator or bypass).
The amplier comes with its own oscillator that is pre-programmed to
6.78 MHz ± 678 Hz. It can be disabled by placing a jumper into J70 or can
be externally shutdown using an externally controlled open collector / drain
transistor on the terminals of J70 (note which is the ground connection).
The switch needs to be capable of sinking at least 25 mA. An external
oscillator can be used instead of the internal oscillator when connected
to J71 (note which is the ground connection) and the jumper (JP70) is
moved from the right 2 pins to the left 2 pins.
The pre-regulator can also be disabled in the same manner as the oscillator
using J51. The pre-regulator can be bypassed, to increase the operating
voltage (with no current or thermal protection) to the amplier or to use
an external regulator, by moving the jumper JP60 from the right 2 pins to
the left 2 pins. Jumper JP60 can also be used to connect an ammeter to
measure the current drawn by the amplier (make sure the ammeter
connects to the pins that correspond to the mode of operation either
bypass or pre-regulator).
Single Ended Operation
The amplier can be congured for single ended operation where only
devices Q1 and Q2 are used. In this mode only LZVS1 and CZVS are used to
establish ZVS operation. If Q11 and Q12 are populated, then the following
changes need to be made to the board:
1) Remove R76 and R77
2) Short out C46 and C47
3) Short the connection of JMP1 (back side of the board)
4) Remove LZVS12 (if populated)
5) Add LZVS1 (270 nH)
6) Check that CZVS1 is populated, if not then install.
7) R74 and R75 may need to be adjusted for the new operating
condition to achieve maximum eciency (see section on ZVS timing
adjustment).
ZVS Timing Adjustment
Setting the correct time to establish ZVS transitions is critical to
achieving high eciency with the EPC9506 amplier. This can be done
by selecting the values for R74 and R75 respectively. This procedure is
best performed using potentiometer P74 and P75 installed that is used to
determine the xed resistor values. The procedure is the same for both
single ended and dierential mode of operation. The timing MUST initially
be set WITHOUT the source coil connected to the amplier. The timing
diagrams are given in Figure 4 and should be referenced when following
this procedure. Only perform these steps if changes have been made to
the board as it is shipped preset. The steps are:
1. Remove the jumper in JP60 and insert it into J51 to place the EPC9506
amplier in bypass mode. With power o connect the main input
power supply (+) bus to the center pin of JP60 (pin 2) and the ground
of the main power to the ground (-) connection of J50 -VIN.
2. With power o, connect the control input power supply bus to +VDD
(J90). Note the polarity of the supply connector.
3. Connect a LOW capacitance oscilloscope probe to the probe-hole J2
and lean against the ground post as shown in Figure 2.
4. Turn on the control supply – make sure the supply is between 7 V and
12 V range (7.5 V is recommended).
5. Turn on the main supply voltage to the required predominant
operating value (such as 24 V but NEVER exceed the absolute
maximum voltage of 32 V).
6. While observing the oscilloscope adjust P74 for the rising edge
of the waveform so achieve the green waveform of gure 4.
Repeat for the falling edge of the waveform by adjusting P75.
7. Check that the setting remains optimal with a source coil attached.
In this case it is important that the source coil is TUNED to resonance
WITH an applicable load. Theoretically the settings should remain
unchanged. Adjust if necessary.
8. Replace the potentiometers with xed value resistors. Congure
the EPC9506 amplier back to normal operation by removing the
power connections to J50 and JP60, removing the jumper in J51 and
inserting it back into JP60 (right 2 pins 2 & 3).
Dierential Operation
The amplier can be congured for dierential operation where all the
devices are used; Q1, Q2, Q11 and Q12. In this mode either LZVS1, LZVS11 and
CZVS or LZVS12 only is used to establish ZVS operation.
Determining Component Values for LZVS
The ZVS tank circuit is not operated at resonance, and only provides the
necessary negative device current for self-commutation of the output
voltage at turn o. The capacitance CZVS is chosen to have a very small
ripple voltage component and is typically around 1 µF. The amplier supply
voltage, switch-node transition time will determine the value of inductance
for LZVSx which needs to be sucient to maintain ZVS operation over the DC
device load resistance range and coupling between the device and source
coil range and can be calculated using the following equation:
(1)
Where: Δtvt = Voltage transition time [s]
fsw = Operating frequency [Hz]
COSSQ = Charge equivalent device output capacitance [F].
Note that the amplier supply voltage VAMP is absent from the equation as
it is accounted for by the voltage transition time. The charge equivalent
capacitance can be determined using the following equation:
(2)
To add additional immunity margin for shifts in coil impedance, the
value of LZVS can be decreased to increase the current at turn o
of the devices (which will increase device losses). Typical voltage
transition times range from 2 ns through 12 ns. For the dierential case
the voltage and charge (COSSQ) are doubled.

Demonstration System EPC9506
QUICK START PROCEDURE
The EPC9506 amplier board is easy to set up and evaluate the
performance of the eGaN FET in a wireless power transfer application.
The EPC9506 can be operated using any one of two alternative methods:
a. Using the pre-regulator
b. Bypassing the pre-regulator
a. Operation using the pre-regulator
The pre-regulator is used to supply power to the amplier in this mode
and will limit the DC current to the amplier based on the setting. The
pre-regulator also monitors the temperature of the amplier and will limit
the current in the event the temperature exceeds 85°C.
1. Make sure the entire system is fully assembled prior to making electrical
connections and make sure jumper (JP60 is set to pre-regulator
– right 2 pins).
2. With power o, connect the main input power supply bus to +VIN
(J50). Note the polarity of the supply connector.
3. With power o, connect the control input power supply bus to +VDD
(J90). Note the polarity of the supply connector.
4. Select and connect an applicable load resistance to the device board.
5. Make sure all instrumentation is connected to the system.
6. Turn on the control supply – make sure the supply is between 7 V and
12 V (7.5 V is recommended).
7. Turn on the main supply voltage to the required value (it is
recommended to start at 8 V and do not exceed the absolute maximum
voltage of 32 V ).
8.
Once operation has been conrmed, adjust the main supply voltage
within the operating range and observe the output voltage,
eciency and other parameters on both the amplier and device
boards.
9. For shutdown, please follow steps in the reverse order. Start by reducing
the main supply voltage to 0 V followed by steps 6 through 2.
b. Operation bypassing the pre-regulator
In this mode, the pre-regulator is bypassed and the main power is
connected directly to the amplier . This allows the amplier to be
operated using an external regulator.
In this mode there is no current or thermal protection for the eGaN FETs.
1. Make sure the entire system is fully assembled prior to making electrical
connections and remove the jumper JP60. Never connect the main
power positive (+) to J50 when operating in bypass mode.
2. With power o, connect the main input power supply ground to the
ground terminal of J50 (-) and the positive (+) to the center pin of JP60.
3. With power o, connect the control input power supply bus to +VDD
(J90). Note the polarity of the supply connector.
4. Select and connect an applicable load resistance to the device board.
5. Make sure all instrumentation is connected to the system.
6. Turn on the control supply – make sure the supply is between 7 V and
12 V range (7.5 V is recommended).
7. Turn on the main supply voltage to the required value (it is
recommended to start at 2V and do not exceed the absolute maximum
voltage of 32 V).
8. Once operation has been conrmed, adjust the main supply
voltage within the operating range and observe the output voltage,
eciency and other parameters on both the amplier and device
boards. See Pre-Cautions when operating in the bypass mode
9. For shutdown, please follow steps in the reverse order. Start by
reducing the main supply voltage to 0 V followed by steps 6 through 2.
NOTE.When measuring the high frequency content switch-node (Source Coil Voltage), care
must be taken to avoid long ground leads. An oscilloscope probe connection (preferred
method) has been built into the board to simplify the measurement of the Source Coil
Voltage (J2 and J3 as shown in Figure 3).
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The EPC9506 demonstration system showcases the EPC2014
eGaN FET in a wireless energy transfer application. Although the
electrical performance surpasses that of traditional silicon devices,
their relatively smaller size does magnify the thermal management
requirements. The operator must observe the temperature of the gate
driver and eGaN FETs to ensure that both are operating within the
thermal limits as per the datasheets.
NOTE. The EPC9506 demonstration system has limited current and thermal protection only
when operating o the Pre-Regulator. When bypassing the pre-regulator there is no current
or thermal protection on board and care must be exercised not to over-current or over-
temperature the devices. Wide coil coupling and load range variations can lead to increased
losses in the devices.
Pre-Cautions
The EPC9506 demonstration system has no controller or enhanced
protections systems and therefore should be operated with caution.
Some specic precautions are:
1. Please contact EPC at info@epc-co.com should the tuning of the coil be
required to change to suit specic conditions so that it can be correctly
adjusted for use with the ZVS Class-D amplier.
2. There is no heat-sink on the devices and during experimental
evaluation it is possible present conditions to the amplier that may
cause the devices to overheat. Always check operating conditions and
monitor the temperature of the EPC devices using an IR camera.
