RFJS1506QDK1 1.0kW rGaN-HV™ Synchronous Boost Converter EVB Design Kit The RFJS1506QDK1 EVB Design Kit consists of a fully assembled evaluation board functioning as a synchronous Boost (step-up) converter working in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). The typical fast recovery boost diode is replaced with RFMD’s RFJS1506Q GaN SSFET running in synchronous rectification mode to further reduce the losses and improve efficiency. Key Features ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ High Power: 1000W On-board CCM Control Adj. Switching Freq. (100-500kHz) Protection: OCP Soft Start-up 8x8 PQFN Thermal Solution The purpose of this EVB is to enable users to easily evaluate the rGaN-HV™ surface mount RFJS1506Q power switch packaged in an 8x8 PQFN running as the main switch and also as the boost diode with ultra-low Qrr and demonstrating its power handling and high efficiency while operating at high PWM frequencies ranging from 100kHz to 500kHz. This evaluation board consists of two RFJS1506Q in totem-pole configuration with individual isolated gate drivers and an on-board CCM Controller IC and Inductor.

RFJS1506Q Package: 8x8mm PQFN rGAN-HV™ 650V SSFET with Ultra-Fast Freewheeling Diode The RFJS1506Q is a 15A, 85mΩ, normally-off sourced switched FET (SSFET) GaN HEMT providing the same insulated gate ease of use as a power MOSFET, but enabling much higher efficiency at much higher PWM frequencies. The SSFET uses the bidirectional capability of the GaN HEMT to provide an ultra-fast freewheeling diode function eliminating the need for a separate antiparallel diode. Pin 5 Drain The RFJS1506Q is housed in a small 8x8mm PQFN package optimized for high-voltage applications with creepage distance that meets industry standards for applications up to 650VDC.
