The Differential or Single Select Open Drain/ V V -0.3 5.5 SgnDiff Voltage Collector datasheet should be read in conjunction with this quick start guide. Differential or Single Select Open Drain/ I -1 1 mA SgnDiff Current Collector * Maximum current depends on die temperature actual maximum current will be subject to switching frequency, bus voltage and thermals. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Figure 1 shows the system block diagram of the EPC9510 ZVS class-D amplifier with pre-regulator and figure 2 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 mA RMS but can be made adjustable using P25. The pre-regulator comprises a EPC9510 Amplifier Board Photo SEPIC converter that can operate at full power from 17 V through 24 V. 2 EPC EFFICIENT POWER CONVERSION CORPORATION WWW.EPC-CO.COM COPYRIGHT 2016
