Board enables demonstration of RF MOSFET gate drivers

Factory assembled and tested, two board configurations are available for either the IXRFD630 or IXRFD631 RF MOSFET gate driver - a DE150- or DE275-size MOSFET can be mounted on one board configuration, while the second configuration has a larger footprint pad for a DE375- or DE475-size device. The board design allows both the driver and the MOSFET to be attached to a heat sink, allowing the assembly to be used as a ground-referenced, low-side power switch for both single-ended and push-pull topologies.

Operation of the DVRFD630/631 Development Boards is straightforward, requiring only a 5V compatible input signal and 12V to 15V DC power supply. With a small overall board size, the optimized layout also reduces parasitic inductance.

The boards can be used to demonstrate the IXRFD630 or IXRFD631 RF MOSFET gate drivers, applied as a low-side ground-referenced power switch, or used as a building block for single-ended and push-pull topologies.
