QUICK START GUIDE
Demonstration System EPC9113
DESCRIPTION
The EPC9113 wireless power demonstration system is a high efficiency,
Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS), Voltage Mode class-D wireless power
transfer demonstration kit capable of delivering up to 16 W into a DC
load while 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 and ICs.
The EPC9113 wireless power system comprises the three boards (shown
in Figure 1) namely:
1) A Source Board (Transmitter or Power Amplifier) EPC9509
2) A Class 3 AirFuelTM Alliance compliant Source Coil (Transmit Coil)
3) A Category 3 AirFuel compliant Device Coil with rectifier and DC
smoothing capacitor.
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 AirFuel standard. This
allows for testing compliant to the AirFuel class 3 standard over a load
range as high as ±50j Ω. The pre-regulator features the 100 V rated 73 mΩ
EPC2036 as the main switching device for a SEPIC converter.
The EPC9509 can operate in either Single ended or Differential mode by
changing a jumper setting. This allows for high efficiency operation with
load impedance ranges that allow for single ended operation.
The timing, the timing adjust circuits for the ZVS class-D amplifiers have
been separated to further ensure highest possible efficiency setting and
includes separate ZVS tank circuits.
The amplifier is equipped with a pre-regulator controller that adjusts the
voltage supplied to the ZVS Class-D amplifier based on the limits of 3
parameters; coil current, DC power delivered, and maximum voltage.
the coil current has the lowest priority followed by the power delivered
with amplifier supply voltage having the highest priority. Changes in
the device load power demand, physical placement of the device on
the source coil and other factors such as metal objects in proximity to
the source coil all contribute to variations in coil current, DC power, and
amplifier voltage requirements. Under any conditions, the controller will
ensure the correct operating conditions for the ZVS class-D amplifier
based on the AirFuel standard. 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 simplified diagram of the
amplifier board is given in Figure 2.
The Source and Device Coils are AirFuel Alliance compliant and have been
pre-tuned to operate at 6.78 MHz with the EPC9509 amplifier. The source coil
is class 3 and the device coil is category 3 compliant.
The device board includes a high frequency schottky diode based full
bridge rectifier and output filter to deliver a filtered unregulated DC
voltage. The device board comes equipped with two LED’s, one green
to indicate the power is being received with an output voltage equal
or greater than 4 V and a second red LED that indicates that the output
voltage has reached the maximum and is above 37 V.
For more information on the EPC2108 or EPC2036 please refer to the
datasheet available from EPC at www.epc-co.com. The datasheet should
be read in conjunction with this quick start guide.
The Source coil used in this wireless power transfer demo system is
provided by NuCurrent (nucurrent.com). Reverse Engineering of the
Source coil is prohibited and protected by multiple US and international
patents. For additional information on the source coil, please contact
NuCurrent direct or EPC for contact information.

MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY
The assembly of the EPC9113 Wireless Demonstration kit is simple and
shown in Figure 1. The source coil and amplifier have been equipped
with SMA connectors. The source coil is simply connected to the
amplifier.
The device board does not need to be mechanically attached to the
source coil.
The coil sets of the EPC9111 and EPC9112 (both the source and
device coils) are not compatible with the EPC9113/4 kit. To prevent
inadvertent connection of either, the connectors of the amplifier and
coils have been changed from reverse polarity to standard polarity.
Please contact EPC for modifications to the original coil set to ensure
compatibility with the EPC9509 amplifier.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Amplifier Board (EPC9509)
Figure 2 shows the system block diagram of the EPC9509 ZVS class-D
amplifier with pre-regulator and Figure 3 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 the jumper
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 switchmode 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.
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 controller 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 LED’s 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 illuminate. Finally, when the pre-regulator reaches
maximum output voltage the red LED will illuminate indicating that
the system is no longer AirFuel compliant 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 AirFuel standard and by measuring the amplifier
supply voltage across TP1 and TP2 will show that it has nearly reach the
maximum value limit.

Demonstration System EPC9113
Single ended or Differential Mode operation
Determining component values for LZVS
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 amplifier 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.”
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:
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.

COSSQ

Cwell
= Gate driver well capacitance [F]. Use 20 pF for the LM5113
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 10 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:
NOTE. that the amplifier supply voltage VAMP is absent from the equation as
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.

Where:
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:
COSSQ =

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 2 ns through 12 ns. For the differential case the voltage and charge
(COSSQ) are doubled when calculating the ZVS inductance.

in Figure 9.
Figure 4 shows the schematic for the source coil which is Class 3
AirFuel compliant. The matching network includes both series and
shunt tuning. The matching network series tuning is differential to
allow balanced connection and voltage reduction for the capacitors.
4. Turn on the control supply – make sure the supply is approximately 19 V.
The Device Board
5. Turn on the main supply voltage starting at 0 V and increasing to the
required predominant operating value (such as 24 V but NEVER
exceedthe absolute maximum voltage of 52 V).
Figure 5 shows the basic schematic for the device coil which is Category 3
AirFuel compliant. The matching network includes both series and
shunt tuning. The matching network series tuning is differential to
allow balanced connection and voltage reduction for the capacitors.
6. While observing the oscilloscope adjust the applicable potentiometers
to so achieve the green waveform of Figure 10.
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.

QUICK START GUIDE
QUICK START PROCEDURE
The EPC9113 demonstration system is easy to set up and evaluate the
performance of the eGaN FET in a wireless power transfer application. Refer
to Figure 1 to assemble the system and Figures 6 and 8 for proper connection
and measurement setup before following the testing procedures.
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 preregulator to ensure proper operation of the board including start up.
1. Make sure the entire system is fully assembled prior to making electrical
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
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.
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 to place the
EPC9509 amplifier 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).
Demonstration System EPC9113
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 category 3 device
board. These loads have low control bandwidth and will cause the EPC9113 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.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The EPC9113 demonstration system showcases the EPC2108 and
EPC2036 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 EPC9113 demonstration system has limited current and thermal protection
only when operating off 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. Excessively wide coil coupling and load range variations can
lead to increased losses in the devices.
Pre-Cautions
The EPC9113 demonstration system has no enhanced protection
systems and therefore should be operated with caution. Some specific
precautions are:
1. Never operate the EPC9113 system with a device board that is AirFuel
compliant as this system does not communicate with the device to
correctly setup the required operating conditions and doing so can
lead to the failure of the device board. Please contact EPC should
operating the system with an AirFuel compliant device is required to
obtain instructions on how to do this. Please contact EPC at info@epcco.com should the tuning of the coil be required to change to suite
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.
