Non-isolated regulated converter development board, do you know?

What is a non-isolated regulated converter development board? What does it do? The EPC9130 development board from EPC is a non-isolated regulated converter development board that converts 48 V to 12 V. It has five functions. With three phases, each phase has 12 A, and the maximum output current is 60 amps, the output power of the development board can exceed 700 W. The board features ultra-high power density (greater than 1250 W per cubic inch) and an efficiency greater than 96%.

The EPC9130 development board has five phases, includes two 100 V enhancement mode gallium nitride field effect transistors (eGaN FETs) EPC2045 in a half-bridge configuration and uses uPI Semiconductor's up1966A gate driver. The PWM signal sent to the gate driver is generated by the onboard Microchip dsPIC33 microcontroller. The board contains all key components in a layout for optimal switching performance – the bill of materials/cost is less than $0.06 per Watt.

Various emerging computing applications require more power and smaller form factors. In addition to the expanding server market, other applications include multiplayer gaming systems, fully autonomous cars, artificial intelligence and Bitcoin mining. Facing the requirements and challenges of these applications, EPC9130 greatly improves the power density of DC/DC converters that convert 48 V to 12 V while making the converters smaller and lower cost.

Alex Lidow, CEO of EPC Power Conversion, said: "The power density of this DC/DC system exceeds 1250 W per cubic inch, while the efficiency is greater than 96%, which is an unprecedented advantage for this type of power converter. The most attractive Remarkably, the component cost is less than $0.06 per watt, which is much lower than systems currently in production."
