DESCRIPTION
The EPC9509 is a high efficiency, Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS), class-D
wireless power amplifier demonstration board that operates at 6.78 MHz
(Lowest ISM band). The purpose of this demonstration system is to sim-
plify the evaluation process of wireless power amplifier technology using
eGaN® FETs by including all the critical components on a single board
that can be easily connected into an existing system.
The amplifier board features the enhancement-mode, half-bridge field
effect transistor (FET), the 60 V rated EPC2108 eGaN FET with integrated
synchronous bootstrap FET. The amplifier can be set to operate in either
differential mode or single-ended mode and includes the gate driver/s,
oscillator, and feedback controller for the pre-regulator that ensures
operation for wireless power control based on the A4WP standard. This
allows for testing compliant to the A4WP class 3 standard over a load
range as high as ±50j Ω. The pre-regulator features the 100 V rated 65 mΩ
EPC2036 as the main switching device for a SEPIC converter.
For more information on the EPC2108 eGaN FETs please refer to the data-
sheet available from EPC at www.epc-co.com. The datasheet should be
read in conjunction with this quick start guide.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Amplifier Board (EPC9509)
Figure 1 shows the system block diagram of the EPC9509 ZVS class-D
amplifier with pre-regulator and figure 2 shows the details of the ZVS
class-D amplifier section. The pre-regulator is used to control the ZVS
class-D wireless power amplifier based on three feedback parameters
1) the magnitude of the coil current indicated by the green LED, 2) the
DC power drawn by the amplifier indicated by the yellow LED and 3)
a maximum supply voltage to the amplifier indicated by the red LED.
Only one parameter at any time is used to control the pre-regulator
with the highest priority being the maximum voltage supplied to the
amplifier followed by the power delivered to the amplifier and lastly the
magnitude of the coil current. The maximum amplifier supply voltage
is pre-set to 52 V and the maximum power drawn by the amplifier is
pre-set to 16 W. The coil current magnitude is pre-set to 800 mARMS but
can be made adjustable using P25. The pre-regulator comprises a SEPIC
converter that can operate at full power from 17 V through 24 V.
The pre-regulator can be bypassed by connecting the positive supply
directly to the ZVS class-D amplifier supply after removing jumper JP1 at
location JP1 and connecting the main positive supply to the bottom pin.
JP1 can also be removed and replaced with a DC ammeter to directly
measure the current drawn by the amplifier. When doing this observe
a low impedance connection to ensure continued stable operation of
the controller. Together with the Kelvin voltage probes (TP1 and TP2)
connected to the amplifier supply, an accurate measurement of the
power drawn by the amplifier can be made. The EPC9509 is also provided
with a miniature high efficiency switch-mode 5 V supply to power the logic
circuits on board such as the gate drivers and oscillator.
The amplifier comes with its own low supply current oscillator that is
pre-programmed to 6.78 MHz ± 678 Hz. It can be disabled by placing
a jumper into JP70 or can be externally shutdown using an externally
controlled open collector / drain transistor on the terminals of JP70 (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 J70 (note which is the ground connection)
and the jumper (JP71) is removed.
* Maximum current depends on die temperature – actual maximum current will be subject to switching
frequency, bus voltage and thermals.
The prerregulator can also be disabled in a similar manner as the oscillator using JPSO.

The pre-regulator can also be disabled in a similar manner as the oscillator
using JP50. However, note that this connection is floating with respect to the
ground so removing the jumper for external connection requires a floating
switch to correctly control this function. Refer to the datasheet of the con-
troller IC and the schematic in this QSG for specific details.
The ZVS timing adjust circuits for the ZVS class D amplifiers are each
independently settable to ensure highest possible efficiency setting and
includes separate ZVS tank circuits. This allows OOK modulation capability
for the amplifier.
The EPC9509 is provided with 3 LEDs that indicate the mode of operation
of the system. If the system is operating in coil current limit mode, then the
green LED will illuminate. For power limit mode, the yellow LED will illumi-
nate. Finally, when the pre-regulator reaches maximum output voltage the
red LED will illuminate indicating that the system is no longer A4WP compli-
ant as the load impedance is too high for the amplifier to drive. When the
load impedance is too high to reach power limit or voltage limit mode, then
the current limit LED will illuminate incorrectly indicating current limit mode.
This mode also falls outside the A4WP standard and by measuring the am-
plifier supply voltage across TP1 and TP2 will show that it has nearly reach
the maximum value limit.
Single ended or Differential Mode operation
The EPC9509 amplifier can be operated in one of two modes; single-
ended or differential mode. Single ended operation offers higher amplifier
efficiency but reduced imaginary impedance drive capability. If the
reflected impedance of the tuned coil load exceeds the capability of
the amplifier to deliver the desired power, then the amplifier can be
switched over to differential mode. In differential mode, the amplifier is
capable of driving an impedance range of 1 Ω through 56 Ω and ±50j Ω and
maintains either the 800 mARMS coil current or deliver up to 16 W of power.
The EPC9509 is set by default to differential mode and can be switched to
single ended mode by inserting a jumper into J75. When inserted the ampli-
fier operates in the single-ended mode. Using an external pull down with
floating collector/ drain connection will have the same effect. The external
transistor must be capable of sinking 25 mA and withstand at least 6 V.
For differential mode only operation, the two ZVS inductors LZVS1 and LZVS2
can be replaced by a single inductor LZVS12 and by removing CZVS1 and CZVS2.
ZVS Timing Adjustment
Setting the correct time to establish ZVS transitions is critical to
achieving high efficiency with the EPC9509 amplifier. This can be
done by selecting the values for R71, R72, R77, and R78 or P71, P72,
P77, and P78 respectively. This procedure is best performed using a
potentiometer installed at the appropriate locations that is used to
determine the fixed resistor values. The procedure is the same for both
single-ended and differential mode of operation. The timing MUST
initially be set WITHOUT the source coil connected to the amplifier.
The timing diagrams are given in Figure 5 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. With power off, remove the jumper in JP1 and install it into JP50 to place
the EPC9509 amplifier into Bypass mode. Connect the main input power
supply (+) to JP1 (bottom pin for bypass mode) with ground connected
to J1 ground (-) connection.
2. With power off, connect the control input power supply bus (19 V) to (+)
connector (J1). Note the polarity of the supply connector.
3. Connect a LOW capacitance oscilloscope probe to the probe-hole of
the half-bridge to be set and lean against the ground post as shown in
Figure 4.
4. Turn on the control supply – make sure the supply is approximately 19 V.
5. Turn on the main supply voltage starting at 0 V and increasing to the re-
quired predominant operating value (such as 24 V but NEVER exceed the
absolute maximum voltage of 52 V).
6. While observing the oscilloscope adjust the applicable potentiometers to
so achieve the green waveform of figure 5.
7. Repeat for the other half-bridge.
8. Replace the potentiometers with fixed value resistors if required. Remove
the jumper from JP50 and install it back into JP1 to revert the EPC9509
back to pre-regulator mode.
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 off. The capacitors CZVS1 and CZVS2 are chosen to have a
very small ripple voltage component and are typically around 1 µF. The
amplifier supply voltage, switch-node transition time will determine the
value of inductance for LZVSx which needs to be sufficient 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]
ƒSW = Operating Frequency [Hz]
COSSQ = Charge Equivalent Device Output Capacitance [F]
Cwell = Gate driver well capacitance [F]. Use 20 pF for the LM5113
NOTE. that the amplifier supply voltage VAMP is absent from the equation as
it is accounted for by the voltage transition time. The COSS of the EPC2108
eGaN FETs is very low and lower than the gate driver well capacitance Cwell
which as a result must now be included in the ZVS timing calculation.
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 off
of the devices (which will increase device losses). Typical voltage
transition times range from 2ns through 12ns. For the
differential case the voltage and charge (COSSQ) are doubled when
calculating the ZVS inductance.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
The EPC9509 amplifier board is easy to set up and evaluate the
performance of the eGaN FET in a wireless power transfer application.
The EPC9509 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 amplifier in this
mode and will limit the coil current, power delivered or maximum
supply voltage to the amplifier based on the pre-determined settings.
The main 19 V supply must be capable of delivering 2 ADC. DO NOT
turn up the voltage of this supply when instructed to power up the
board, instead simply turn on the supply. The EPC9509 board includes a
pre-regulator to ensure proper operation of the board including start up.
1. Make sure the entire system is fully assembled prior to making electri-
cal connections and make sure jumper JP1 is installed. Also make sure
the source coil and device coil with load are connected.
2. With power off, connect the main input power supply bus to J1 as
shown in figure 3. Note the polarity of the supply connector.
3. Make sure all instrumentation is connected to the system.
4. Turn on the main supply voltage to the required value (19 V).
5. Once operation has been confirmed, observe the output voltage,
efficiency and other parameters on both the amplifier and device
boards.
6. For shutdown, please follow steps in the reverse order.
b. Operation bypassing the pre-regulator
In this mode, the pre-regulator is bypassed and the main power is
connected directly to the amplifier. This allows the amplifier to be
operated using an external regulator. In this mode there is no protection
for ensuring the correct operating conditions for the eGaN FETs.
When in bypass mode it is crucial to slowly turn up the supply voltage
starting at 0 V. Note that in bypass mode you will be using two supplies;
one for logic and the other for the amplifier power.
1. Make sure the entire system is fully assembled prior to making
electrical connections and make sure jumper JP1 has been removed
and installed in JP50 to disable the pre-regulator and place the
EPC9509 in bypass mode. Also make sure the source coil and device
coil with load are connected.
2. With power off, connect the main input power supply bus +VIN to the
bottom pin of JP1 and the ground to the ground connection of J1 as
shown in figure 3.

3. With power off, connect the control input power supply bus to J1.
Note the polarity of the supply connector. This is used to power the
gate drivers and logic circuits.
4. Make sure all instrumentation is connected to the system.
5. Turn on the control supply – make sure the supply is 19 V range.
6. Turn on the main supply voltage to the required value (it is
recommended to start at 0 V and do not exceed the absolute maximum
voltage of 52 V).
7. Once operation has been confirmed, adjust the main supply voltage
within the operating range and observe the output voltage, efficiency
and other parameters on both the amplifier and device boards.
8. 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.
1. 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 (shown in Figure 4).
2. To maintain control stability, the red LED for voltage mode indicator on the EPC9509
version 1.0 has been disabled. This will be corrected in subsequent revisions of the
board. For questions regarding this LED function, please contact EPC.
3. AVOID using a Lab Benchtop programmable DC as the load for the device board. These
loads have low control bandwidth and will cause the EPC9509 system to oscillate at a
low frequency and may lead to failure. It is recommended to use a fixed low inductance
resistor as an initial load. Once a design matures, a post regulator, such as a Buck
converter, can be used.

Pre-Cautions
The EPC9509 demonstration system has a limited controller and no
enhanced protection systems and therefore should be operated with
caution. Some specific precautions are:
1. Please contact EPC at info@epc-co.com should the tuning of the coil be
required to change to suit specific conditions so that it can be correctly
adjusted for use with the ZVS class-D amplifier.
2. There is no heat-sink on the devices and during experimental
evaluation it is possible present conditions to the amplifier that may
cause the devices to overheat. Always check operating conditions and
monitor the temperature of the EPC devices using an IR camera.
3. Never connect the EPC9509 amplifier board into your VNA in an
attempt to measure the output impedance of the amplifier. Doing so
will severely damage the VNA.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The EPC9509 demonstration system showcases the EPC2108 and
EPC2036 eGaN FETs 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 EPC9509 demonstration system has limited current protection only when
operating off the Pre-Regulator. When bypassing the pre-regulator there is no current
protection on board and care must be exercised not to over-current or over-temperature
the devices. Excessively wide coil coupling and load range variations can lead to increased
losses in the devices.
