DESCRIPTION The EPC9114 wireless power demonstration system is a high efficiency, A4WP compatible, Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS), Voltage Mode class-D wireless power transfer demonstration kit capable of delivering up to 10 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.

The EPC9114 wireless power system comprises the three boards (shown in Figure 1) namely:

1) A Source Board (Transmitter or Power Amplifier) EPC9510

2) A Class 2 A4WP compliant Source Coil (Transmit Coil)

3) A Category 3 A4WP compliant Device Coil with rectifier and DC smoothing capacitor.

The amplifier board features the enhancement-mode half-bridge field effect transistor (FET), the 100 V rated EPC2107 eGaN FET with integrated synchronous bootstrap FET. The amplifier is configured for single ended operation 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 2 standard over the entire load range of ±35j Ω. The pre-regulator features the 100 V rated 65 mΩ EPC2036 as the main switching device for a SEPIC converter.

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 the 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 A4WP 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 Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) compliant and have been pre-tuned to operate at 6.78 MHz with the EPC9510 amplifier. The source coil is Class 2 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 EPC2107 and EPC2036 eGaN FETs 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 ASSEMBLYThe assembly of the EPC9114 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.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The Amplifier Board (EPC9510) Figure 2 shows the system block diagram of the EPC9510 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 66 V and the maximum power drawn by the amplifier is pre-set to 10 W. The coil current magnitude is pre-set to 580 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 EPC9510 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.

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 EPC9510 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 A4WP 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 A4WP standard and by measuring the amplifier supply voltage across TP1 and TP2 will show that it has nearly reach the maximum value limit.

ZVS Timing Adjustment

Setting the correct time to establish ZVS transitions is critical to achieving high efficiency with the EPC9510 amplifier. This can be done by selecting the values for R71 and R72 or P71 and P72 respectively. This procedure is best performed using a potentiometer installed at the appropriate locations that is used to determine the fixed resistor values. 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:

1. With power off, remove the jumper in JP1 and install it into JP50 to place the EPC9510 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 9.

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 required predominant operating value (such as 24 V but NEVER exceed the absolute maximum voltage of 66 V).

6. While observing the oscilloscope adjust the applicable potentiometers to so achieve the green waveform of Figure 10.

7. Replace the potentiometers with fixed value resistors if required. Remove the jumper from JP50 and install it back into JP1 to revert the EPC9510 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 capacitor CZVS1 is chosen to have a very small ripple voltage component and is typically around 1 µF. The amplifier supply voltage, switch-node transition time will determine the value of inductances for LZVS1 and LZVS2 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. the amplifier supply voltage VAMP is absent from the equation as it is accounted for by the voltage transition time. The COSS of the EPC2107 eGaN FETs is very low and lower than the gate driver well capacitance Cwell which as a result must be 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 2 ns through 12 ns.

The Source Coil

Figure 4 shows the schematic for the source coil which is Class 2 A4WP 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.

The Device Board

Figure 5 shows the basic schematic for the device coil which is Category 3A4WP compliant. The matching network includes both series and shunttuning. The matching network series tuning is differential to allow balanced connection and voltage reduction for the capacitors. The device board comes equipped with a kelvin connected output DC voltage measurement terminal and a built in shunt to measure the output DC current. Two LEDs have been provided to indicate that the board is receiving power with an output voltage greater than 4 V (green LED) and that the board output voltage limit has been reached (greater than 36 V using the red LED).

QUICK START PROCEDURE The EPC9114 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 through 8 for proper connection and measurement setup before following the testing procedures.

The EPC9510 can be operated using any one of two alternative methods:

a. Using the pre-regulator.

b. By-passing 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 EPC9510 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 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 7. 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.

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 EPC9510 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 to the bottom pin of JP1 and the ground to the ground connection of J1 as shown in Figure 7.

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 80 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 9).

2. You may experience audible noise emanating from the inductor of the SEPIC converter. This is due to a minor instability. This minor instability does not impact the performance of the power amplifier or the protection circuitry of the system.

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 EPC9114 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 EPC9114 demonstration system showcases the EPC2107 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 EPC9114 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.

Pre-CautionsThe EPC9114 demonstration system has no enhanced protection systems and therefore should be operated with caution. Some specific precautions are:

1. Never operate the EPC9114 system with a device board that is A4WP compliant as this system does not communicate with the device to correctly setup the required operating conditions and doing so can lead to failure of the device board. Contact EPC should operating the system with an A4WP compliant device is required to obtain instructions on how to do this. Please contact EPC at [email protected] 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 EPC9510 amplifer board into your VNA in an attempt to measure the output impedance of the amplifier. Doing so will severely damage the VNA.
