EPC2007 GaNFET N-Channel 100V 6A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EPC2007 is an N-Channel GaNFET (Gallium Nitride Field Effect Transistor) rated for 100V drain-to-source voltage with 6A continuous drain current at 25°C. This die-form component operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and is designed for surface mount applications. The EPC2007 carries an Obsolete product status, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. Substitution is necessary to maintain supply chain reliability and ensure access to components with compatible electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EPC2007 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• FET Type: N-Channel topology
• Technology: GaNFET (Gallium Nitride)
• Drain to Source Voltage (Vdss): 100V rating
• Continuous Drain Current (Id) @ 25°C: 6A minimum
• On-State Resistance (Rds On) @ 6A, 5V: 30mOhm maximum
• Gate Threshold Voltage (Vgs(th)): 2.5V maximum @ 1.2mA
• Drive Voltage: 5V

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package Form: Die configuration
• Supplier Device Package: Die

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The EPC2007C qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical performance across all specified parameters and equivalent mechanical and compliance characteristics. Variations in secondary parameters (Gate Charge, Input Capacitance, Operating Temperature maximum, Vgs limits, and packaging format) do not preclude substitution when primary electrical and mechanical requirements are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

EPC2007C as Primary Substitute:

The EPC2007C is a direct functional equivalent to the EPC2007 across all critical electrical parameters. Both components share identical Vdss (100V), Id (6A), Rds On (30mOhm @ 6A, 5V), and Vgs(th) (2.5V @ 1.2mA) specifications. The EPC2007C maintains full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original component.

The EPC2007C offers an extended operating temperature maximum of 150°C compared to the EPC2007's 125°C, providing enhanced thermal margin in high-temperature applications. Both components are supplied in die form with surface mount mounting type and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

The EPC2007C carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating mature production availability with established supply chain support. This status provides superior availability compared to the Obsolete EPC2007, making it the appropriate selection for design continuation and production replenishment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EPC2007C directly replace the EPC2007 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The EPC2007C meets all critical electrical specifications of the EPC2007, including Vdss, Id, Rds On, and Vgs(th). Both components are N-Channel GaNFETs with identical 100V/6A ratings and 30mOhm on-state resistance. Die-form packaging and surface mount mounting type are identical. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the different operating temperature ranges?

A: The EPC2007 operates from -40°C to 125°C (TJ), while the EPC2007C extends to 150°C (TJ). This difference does not affect substitution compatibility. The EPC2007C's extended upper temperature limit provides additional thermal headroom in applications approaching 125°C junction temperature. For designs operating within the EPC2007's original -40°C to 125°C range, both components perform identically.

Q: Are there packaging differences between EPC2007 and EPC2007C?

A: Both components are supplied in die form. The EPC2007C is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, while the EPC2007 packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Both maintain identical die configuration and surface mount mounting type. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume production and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do the differences in Gate Charge and Input Capacitance affect substitution?

A: No. Gate Charge (Qg) and Input Capacitance (Ciss) are secondary performance parameters. The EPC2007 specifies 2.8 nC @ 5V and 205 pF @ 50V, while the EPC2007C specifies 2.2 nC @ 5V and 220 pF @ 50V. These variations fall within normal manufacturing tolerance ranges for GaNFET technology and do not preclude functional substitution. Primary electrical parameters (Vdss, Id, Rds On, Vgs(th)) remain identical.

Q: Are both components RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the EPC2007 and EPC2007C are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Regulatory compliance is equivalent between the two components.

Q: Why is the EPC2007 marked as Obsolete?

A: The Obsolete status indicates the EPC2007 is no longer in active production. The EPC2007C, marked as "Not For New Designs," represents the current production equivalent with established supply chain availability. For ongoing production and design support, the EPC2007C is the appropriate selection.
