The EPC2216 is an automotive-grade, enhancement-mode Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistor manufactured by Efficient Power Conversion. It features a lateral device structure with N-channel polarity and a BGA-6 package. Key electrical parameters include a drain-source breakdown voltage of 15 V, a continuous drain current of 3.4 A, and a maximum gate-source voltage range of -4 V to +6 V. The device exhibits a typical on-resistance of 26 mΩ at 5 V gate drive, a gate charge of 0.87 nC, and a threshold voltage of 2.5 V. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant when sourcing, as manufacturers may offer different tape-and-reel or cut-tape options. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the component meets automotive reliability standards required for your specific application environment before finalizing procurement.
Select this component for designs requiring minimal switching losses and high frequency operation. The low gate charge reduces driver complexity, while the 15 V rating suits low-voltage bus architectures. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the small BGA footprint and thermal requirements for optimal heat dissipation during continuous operation.
This part belongs to EPC's eGaN FET family, which leverages lateral semiconductor structures to achieve superior electron mobility compared to traditional silicon MOSFETs. The EPC2216 specifically targets automotive and high-density power conversion markets where size, weight, and efficiency are critical constraints.
