13.56 MHz, CLASS-E, 1KW RF Generator using a Microsemi DRF1200 Driver/MOSFET Hybrid

CLASS-E amplifiers offer a degree of efficiency unavailable with linear designs. The trade-off has been the high level of design complexity that engineers have either shied away from or spent months discovering the fundamentals of practical CLASS-E amplifier design. With the DRF1200/CLASS-E reference design kit an engineer can rapidly overcome the pitfalls of high voltage CLASS-E design. It demonstrates fundamental design techniques that can save months of countless design iterations.



This application note discusses the design procedures and test results for a 13.56MHz, 1KW, CLASS-E generator ideal for ISM applications. To achieve high efficiency and low cost, a Microsemi DRF1200 Driver/MOSFET was selected. The DRF1200 can generate over 1KW of output power and consists of a MOSFET driver, high power MOSFET and internal bypass capacitors in an air cavity flangeless package. The flangeless package was designed to optimize reliability, provide increased flexibility while still providing a low cost solution. A reference design board (DRF1200/CLASS-E) is available for purchase to facilitate the immediate evaluation of the principles of this application note.

To optimize efficiency performance, a CLASS-E RF generator was chosen. It is essential that care is taken to use adequate circuitry, clean PCB layout and good ground connections on the PCB to ensure proper output waveforms.

The DRF1200 hybrid includes a high power gate driver and the power MOSFET. The driver output can be confi gured as Inverting and Non-Inverting. It was designed to provide the system designer increased fl exibility and lowered cost over a non-integrated solution.
