What the EPC2252 family does
The EPC2252 is an enhancement mode power transistor utilizing gallium nitride technology for efficient power conversion. This device handles high switching frequencies and low on-state losses across automotive lidar, servers, isolated power supplies, and motor drives. It features an 80 V drain-to-source voltage rating, 8.2 A continuous current, and a maximum on-resistance of 11 mΩ. The component operates from -40 to 150°C with a typical gate drive of 5 V. Its ultra-small 1.5 x 1.5 mm footprint enables higher power density while eliminating reverse recovery losses. The part supports both continuous and pulsed applications up to 96 V.
