The GS-EVB-HB-61008P-ON evaluation board consists of NCP51810 gate drive solution with two GS61008P GaN E-mode transistors in a fully-functional half bridge. It allows users to easily evaluate GaN in a robust and simplified layout with NCP51810 gate driver, for a high cost-effective solution. This evaluation board provides the utmost flexibility of GaN transistors and driver combination and can be used in any topology that requires the use of a high−side/low−side FETs.
