Summary egan FETs in a ZVS Class D amplifier were tested to the A4WP Class-3 specifications : egan FETs always yield higher efficiency than best-in-class MOSFETs Gate driver and egan FET temperature remain below 100 C egan FET s lower C OSS reduces the ZVS current needed, resulting in lower power dissipation for both FET and L ZVS egan FETs reduce board space by 40 % EPC - The Leader in egan FETs www.epc-co.com 12
