Hardware Operation
The general guidelines for operating the evaluation board are listed in this section. Follow
the steps to configure the hardware properly.
1) Always connect a load (E-load) to Vout+ and Vout-.
2) Pre-set the PWM frequency and the duty cycle (by tuning R3 and R11), according to
the PWM signal look-up tables. Start with 10% duty cycle and frequency 250kHz.
3) Apply V

4) Check the V
waveform and fine-tune the PWM frequency (by tuning R3) and duty

cycle (by tuning R11)
5) For taking an efficiency measurement, add a current meter and use Vin+ and Vin- for
V
and use Vout+ and Vout- for V

6) Apply V
to Vin+ and Vin- and sweep the voltage from low (0V) to max. Monitor

the output voltage and device temperature. Make sure V
the GaN device temperature is lower than 150°C. Note: the maximum input voltage
is limited by the output voltage of the Boost converter, which is dependent on the
operating mode, the duty cycle and the load value.
7) After testing, turn off V
