IRS2153DPBF - 600V Self-Osc Half-Bridge Driver | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2153DPBF is a 600V self-oscillating half-bridge gate driver IC with integrated bootstrap FET, programmable switching frequency and programmable shutdown, housed in an 8-pin PDIP through-hole package. It delivers typical 0.18 A source and 0.26 A sink gate-drive currents from a 0.5 us (typ) internal oscillator, with a 1.1 us (typ) half-bridge driver stage. The IRS2153D is the second-generation silicon implementation of the legacy IR2153, qualified to the industrial level and traceable to MSL2 / MSL3 packaging lines. A half-bridge gate driver is a power-management building block that produces two complementary gate-drive outputs from a single supply rail to switch the high-side and low-side MOSFETs (or IGBTs) of a half-bridge. The high-side stage uses a bootstrap capacitor refreshed through an internal bootstrap FET, eliminating the need for a separate isolated supply. In the broader hierarchy, this IC sits between low-side gate drivers and full H-bridge/three-phase driver ICs, inside the power management IC category. Key features include 600V maximum offset voltage tolerance on the high-side floating rail, 0.5 us internal oscillator dead-time control, programmable switching frequency via a single RT/CT resistor/capacitor pair, and a shutdown input that latches the outputs low. The integrated bootstrap FET eliminates an external discrete component and simplifies PCB layout. Typical quiescent current VCC supply current is 0.5 mA (typ), and the device operates across an industrial -40C to +125C junction temperature range. The IRS2153D family is widely used in energy-efficient lighting and motor control. Typical applications include fluorescent electronic ballasts, HID ballasts, LED driver stages, half-bridge DC-DC converters, low-power motor drives and general-purpose switch-mode power supplies. The self-oscillating topology eliminates the need for an external PWM controller, enabling compact, low-BOM-count designs.
IRS2153DSPBF - 600V Self-Oscillating Half-Bridge Driver | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2153DSPBF is a 600V self-oscillating half-bridge gate driver IC in an 8-pin SOIC package with an integrated oscillator built around a CMOS 555-style front end. It delivers high-side and low-side gate drive for N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in a half-bridge configuration with logic-level input, programmable deadtime via a single external timing resistor and capacitor, and a high-voltage level shifter tolerant of up to 600V bus rails. A gate driver IC (also called a half-bridge driver) is a power-management semiconductor that translates low-power PWM logic signals from a controller into the high-current, high-voltage drive required to switch the gates of MOSFETs or IGBTs in switch-mode power supplies, motor drives, and lighting ballasts. The self-oscillating variant integrates the timing network, removing the need for an external oscillator and simplifying ballast and driver designs. Key features include a 600V maximum offset voltage, 130 mA / 270 mA typical source/sink gate-drive current, internal deadtime of approximately 1.2 us, low quiescent current, and HVIC + latch-immune CMOS construction for rugged monolithic integration. The IRS2153DSPBF accepts a 10V to 20V VCC supply and includes undervoltage lockout on VCC, with bootstrap capability for the high-side supply. The IRS2153DSPBF architecture uses a high-voltage level-shifter and latch-immune CMOS logic to drive the high-side channel referenced to the half-bridge switching node (VS). This allows direct connection of the low-side gate return to the system ground while the high-side channel floats with the switching node, eliminating the need for an isolated drive supply in many topologies. Typical applications include electronic ballast for fluorescent and HID lamps, half-bridge converters, motor driver front ends, and switch-mode power supply drivers. Its self-oscillating nature makes it well suited for cost-sensitive lamp ballast designs where external PWM control is unnecessary. The wide VCC range supports both 12V and 15V system rails commonly found in lighting and industrial subsystems. When designing with this device, ensure the bootstrap capacitor and diode are correctly sized for the high-side supply, paying attention to refresh pulses during low-side turn-on. The timing resistor (RT) and capacitor (CT) selected on pin 2 set the oscillator frequency - typical fluorescent ballast designs operate in the 30-50 kHz range with appropriate deadtime margins.
IRS2153DSTRPBF - 600V Self-Oscillating Half-Bridge Driver | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2153DSTRPBF is a 600 V self-oscillating half-bridge gate driver IC with an integrated front-end oscillator, integrated bootstrap FET, programmable frequency, and programmable shutdown, housed in an 8-pin SOIC package. It delivers typical 0.18 A source and 0.26 A sink output currents, a 1.1 us typical internal propagation delay, and operates from a 10 V to 20 V (VDD) supply with a 600 V high-side floating supply absolute maximum rating. A gate driver IC is a power-management semiconductor that sits between a low-voltage control signal (from a microcontroller, PFC controller, or analog timer) and the gate of a high-voltage power switch such as a MOSFET or IGBT. In the broader IC taxonomy, the IRS2153DSTRPBF belongs to: gate driver -> driver IC -> power management IC -> semiconductor. Its half-bridge topology drives the high-side and low-side switches of a switching power stage from a single low-voltage supply using a bootstrap capacitor to generate the floating high-side rail. Key differentiating features include HVIC (high-voltage integrated circuit) and latch-immune CMOS technologies that enable rugged monolithic construction, an internal oscillator similar to the industry-standard CMOS 555 timer, and a built-in shutdown pin that allows external control of the switching frequency or disables the outputs. The internal bootstrap FET eliminates the need for an external bootstrap diode in many designs, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM count. Architecturally, the IRS2153DSTRPBF combines a precision current source that charges the external RT/CT timing components, a Schmitt-trigger comparator that sets the oscillator threshold, level-shift logic that translates the LO and HO gate signals across the high-voltage isolation barrier, and matched push-pull output buffers sized for driving typical 600 V/600 V-class MOSFETs and IGBTs in switching frequencies between a few kHz and several hundred kHz. Typical applications include self-oscillating electronic ballasts for fluorescent and HID lamps, switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) using half-bridge or push-pull topologies, induction-heating cooktops, low-cost DC-AC inverters, and high-voltage synchronous-rectified converters where a self-contained timing source replaces an external PWM controller. In each case the part replaces a discrete oscillator + half-bridge driver pair with a single 8-pin device. When designing with the IRS2153DSTRPBF, select RT and CT to program the switching frequency per the datasheet's timing equations, ensure the bootstrap capacitor value is sized for the operating frequency and duty cycle, and place CT close to the CT pin to minimize noise pickup. The shutdown pin (SD) can be tied to VCC through a resistor divider for under-voltage lockout (UVLO) or driven directly from a logic signal for synchronous shutdown.
IRS21814MTRPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver 1.9A/2.3A | Infineon
The Infineon IRS21814MTRPBF is a high-voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT gate driver with independent high-side and low-side referenced output channels, packaged in a 16-pin MLPQ 4x4 (4x4 mm) exposed-pad package. It delivers typical source/sink currents of 1.9 A and 2.3 A respectively, supports bootstrap operation up to +600 V, and operates from a 10 V to 20 V gate-drive supply with 3.3 V/5 V logic-compatible inputs. Typical propagation delay is 180 ns with matched channel-to-channel timing. A gate driver IC is a power-management device that sits between a low-power control signal (from a microcontroller or PWM controller) and a high-power switching transistor (MOSFET or IGBT). The driver's job is to translate the weak logic-level command into a strong, fast, properly leveled gate-source voltage swing that can rapidly charge and discharge the gate capacitance of the power switch. The IRS21814MTRPBF belongs to the half-bridge driver category - a sub-family of gate-driver ICs that contains both a high-side and a low-side channel on one die, enabling direct drive of one phase leg of a bridge converter without external level-shift circuitry. Key features of this driver include: floating channel designed for bootstrap operation, fully operational to +600 V with tolerance to negative transient voltages (dV/dt immune), undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both VCC and VBS rails, matched propagation delay between high-side and low-side channels to minimize dead-time distortion, and a 3.3 V/5 V input-logic interface that connects directly to microcontrollers and DSPs. The exposed thermal pad on the bottom of the MLPQ package reduces junction-to-PCB thermal resistance for improved switching losses. Architecturally, the IRS21814MTRPBF uses Infineon's proprietary HVIC and latch-immune CMOS process, allowing the high-side output stage to float up to 600 V above the low-side return while remaining galvanically isolated through level-shifters internal to the die. The output buffer is designed for minimum driver cross-conduction, preventing shoot-through currents in the driven half-bridge. The dead-time and timing are externally controlled by the user's PWM generator. Typical applications include motor drives (BLDC/PMSM), solar inverters, switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), induction-heating converters, and Class D audio amplifiers. The 600 V rating makes it well-suited for offline (mains-rectified) systems up to 230 V AC without requiring additional high-side isolation components. When designing with this part, select a bootstrap diode with fast reverse recovery and a low-leakage blocking diode rated for the high-side rail voltage. Place the VCC bypass capacitor (typically 0.1 uF + 10 uF ceramic) and the VBS bootstrap capacitor (typically 0.1 uF + 1 uF ceramic) as close as possible to their respective pins to minimize switching-noise-induced UVLO events. This page synthesizes distributor pricing as of 2026-09-15, drop-in MLPQ-16 alternatives, and practical design notes that go beyond the manufacturer datasheet's typical-application schematic.
IRS2181STRPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver IC | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2181STRPBF is a high-voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT half-bridge gate driver IC with independent high-side and low-side referenced output channels, housed in an 8-pin SOIC package with tape-and-reel packaging. It delivers typical source/sink current capability of 1.9 A/2.3 A and is rated for an offset voltage of up to 600 V, enabling direct drive of the upper MOSFET/IGBT in half-bridge and full-bridge power topologies without a separate high-side bootstrap signal isolator. The device operates from a VCC supply of 10 V to 20 V and uses Infineon's proprietary HVIC and latch-immune CMOS technology for ruggedized monolithic construction. A gate driver IC such as the IRS2181STRPBF belongs to the power-management semiconductor family, specifically the high-side/low-side (HS/LS) driver subcategory. In a switched-mode power architecture, the gate driver sits between a low-power control IC (microcontroller, DSP, or analog controller) and the high-power switching devices (MOSFETs or IGBTs). Its function is to translate low-current logic-level PWM signals into high-current drive signals capable of rapidly charging and discharging the gate capacitance of power transistors, which keeps switching losses low and prevents shoot-through. The IRS2181 family uses a bootstrap capacitor on the VB pin to derive the floating supply for the high-side channel, eliminating the need for an isolated DC/DC converter in many motor-drive and inverter applications. Key features of the IRS2181STRPBF include a wide VCC range of 10 V to 20 V, 600 V absolute maximum offset voltage, 1.9 A typical source / 2.3 A typical sink output drive current, under-voltage lockout (UVLO) for both VCC and VBS rails, matched propagation delay between channels, and logic inputs that are 3.3 V compatible. A shutdown pin (SD) is provided, and the logic polarity is non-inverting on both high-side and low-side outputs, which simplifies firmware and timing design. The 8-pin SOIC package offers a small footprint that is compatible with standard reflow profiles and is suitable for high-density PCB layouts. Architecturally, the IRS2181 combines a floating high-side well capable of withstanding 600 V transient swings, a low-side driver referenced to VCC/GND, and a CMOS input stage with internal pull-downs. The high-side channel includes its own level shifter that translates the low-side HIN PWM signal up to the floating VB supply. A built-in dead-time control is not present; the IRS2181 relies on the controller to insert dead time externally, which gives designers flexibility in tuning switching behavior. The latch-immune CMOS process minimizes dv/dt-induced false triggering that historically plagued discrete bootstrap driver designs. Typical applications include variable-frequency motor drives for HVAC and small appliances, low-power DC/AC solar micro-inverters, switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) with synchronous rectification, electronic ballasts for HID and fluorescent lighting, induction-heating cooktops, and class-D audio amplifiers. The device is also widely used in three-phase inverter modules for BLDC and PMSM motors when paired with three IRS2181 devices (one per phase) plus a controller such as the IRMCF143 or a TI C2000 MCU. In each case, the IRS2181STRPBF's 600 V rating comfortably covers 230 VAC rectified (≈325 V) and 120 VAC rectified (≈170 V) bus rails with substantial safety margin. A primary design consideration is the bootstrap capacitor sizing: CB must hold VBS above the UVLO threshold for the longest high-side on-time. A conservative formula uses CB ≥ QG(MAX)/ΔVBS, with a safety factor of 2x to 5x. For a 100 nC gate charge and 200 mV allowable droop, CB ≥ 0.5 µF; designers often select 1 µF to 4.7 µF X7R ceramics. The bootstrap diode must be a fast-recovery type (≤100 ns trr) rated for the full DC bus voltage.

IRS21834STRPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver | Infineon
The Infineon IRS21834STRPBF is a 600 V half-bridge gate driver IC for power MOSFETs and IGBTs, delivering typical 1.9 A source and 2.3 A sink output currents in a 14-pin SOIC package. It features floating channel bootstrap architecture rated to +600 V, gate drive supply range of 10 V to 20 V, and inverting/non-inverting logic inputs with shutdown capability. Key features include fully operational +600 V floating channel, negative transient voltage tolerance with dV/dt immunity, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) for both VCC and VBS rails, and matched propagation delay for high-frequency switching. The proprietary HVIC and latch-immune CMOS technologies enable ruggedized monolithic construction with built-in deadtime control logic. The IRS21834STRPBF utilizes Infineon's high-voltage integrated circuit technology combining an input logic stage, level-shifting circuitry, and complementary output buffers. The floating high-side channel is bootstrapped via an external diode and capacitor network, allowing operation with bus voltages up to 600 V. The matched propagation delay between high-side and low-side channels (typically 200 ns with ±50 ns matching) reduces deadtime requirements and improves efficiency in synchronous rectifier and motor drive topologies. Typical applications include motor control inverters for HVAC and appliance drives, switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) with half-bridge and full-bridge topologies, induction heating, UPS systems, and class-D audio amplifiers. The 14-SOIC package provides a compact footprint for high-density power modules while maintaining sufficient creepage for 600 V systems. When designing with this driver, ensure the bootstrap capacitor is sized for at least 10 uF with low ESR to supply the high-side gate charge during switching cycles. The shutdown pin allows PWM-controlled fault protection by gating both outputs simultaneously, useful for overcurrent detection circuits.
IRS2184SPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver IC | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2184SPBF is a 600V half-bridge gate driver IC with dependent high-side and low-side referenced output channels, delivering 1.9A source and 2.3A sink peak gate drive current in an 8-pin SOIC package. It uses proprietary HVIC and latch-immune CMOS technologies for ruggedized monolithic construction, with logic inputs compatible with standard CMOS or LSTTL outputs down to 3.3V logic levels. A gate driver IC is a power-management semiconductor that translates low-power PWM control signals from a microcontroller or controller IC into the high-current drive required to switch power MOSFET or IGBT gates. Within the broader taxonomy, gate drivers sit between the controller (DSP/MCU) and the power stage in switched-mode power conversion, motor drives, and lighting ballast topologies. The IRS2184SPBF specifically implements a half-bridge configuration where one high-side and one low-side switch are driven with a fixed deadtime inserted by the external bootstrap circuit and IN pin logic. Key features include a 600V absolute maximum offset voltage allowing the high-side channel to drive the upper switch in a bus up to 600V, typical 1.9A source / 2.3A sink output current, matched propagation delays for both channels, under-voltage lockout (UVLO) for both VCC and VBS rails, and 3.3V/5V input logic compatibility. The output drivers feature a high pulse current buffer stage designed for minimum driver cross-conduction. The device architecture combines a level-shift high-voltage stage for the high-side channel with a ground-referenced low-side channel. The high-side uses a bootstrap capacitor (VBS) charged through an external diode when the low-side FET is on, which provides the floating supply needed to drive the high-side gate above the bus voltage. The proprietary HVIC technology integrates 600V level-shift transistors on the same silicon as the low-voltage CMOS logic, eliminating optocoupler or pulse-transformer isolation in the gate-drive path. Typical applications include motor control inverters for permanent-magnet synchronous and brushless DC motors, switch-mode power supply half-bridge and full-bridge converters, electronic ballasts for fluorescent and HID lighting, induction heating, and class-D audio amplifiers. The 8-SOIC footprint and wide logic compatibility make it well-suited to compact industrial inverter designs up to several hundred watts. When designing with the IRS2184SPBF, the bootstrap diode and capacitor must be sized for the worst-case refresh interval determined by the high-side on-time and quiescent current to VBS. A 0.1uF to 1uF ceramic bypass on VCC close to the IC is mandatory to handle the high di/dt of the gate charge transfer events.

IRS2184STRPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver, SOIC-8 | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2184STRPBF is a 600V half-bridge gate driver IC in a non-inverting configuration, housed in an 8-pin SOIC package with tape-and-reel packaging (Pb-free). Designed using Infineon's proprietary HVIC and latch-immune CMOS technology, it provides high-voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT drive capability with dependent high-side and low-side referenced output channels. A gate driver is a power-management IC that sits between a low-power controller (microcontroller, DSP, or logic output) and a high-power switching device (MOSFET or IGBT). It translates low-current logic-level signals into high-current gate drive signals capable of rapidly charging and discharging the gate capacitance of power switches. Gate drivers belong to the broader hierarchy of power management ICs and are essential in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), motor drives, and DC-DC converters where the control circuit must remain electrically isolated from the high-voltage switching node. Key features include a 600V maximum offset voltage rating allowing operation in 120V/240V AC-derived bus systems, 1.4A typical source/sink output drive current for fast switching transitions, and 3.3V logic-compatible inputs accepting standard CMOS or LSTTL outputs. The IRS2184 also integrates built-in deadtime (typically 400ns) to prevent shoot-through in half-bridge configurations. The 8-pin SOIC package is industry-standard and supports surface-mount assembly. The IRS2184 uses a level-shifting circuit on the high-side channel that references the floating supply to the switching node (VS pin), enabling bootstrap operation from a single low-voltage supply. The low-side channel is referenced to ground (COM pin). This architecture eliminates the need for an isolated gate drive supply on the high side, reducing BOM cost and PCB area. Typical applications include switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), motor control inverters for small BLDC and PMSM motors, electronic ballasts for lighting, Class D audio amplifiers, and any half-bridge or full-bridge topology driving MOSFETs or IGBTs up to 600V bus voltage. The IRS2184 is specifically the non-inverting variant of the IRS2184 family (input high = HO high, LO high). When designing with this driver, ensure the bootstrap capacitor is sized to supply the high-side gate charge for the worst-case switching frequency and duty cycle. A 100nF to 1uF ceramic capacitor with a low-ESR bootstrap diode is recommended. Place the driver as close as possible to the MOSFETs to minimize gate-loop inductance and prevent dv/dt-induced ringing.
IRS21867STRPBF - 600V 4A Hi/Lo Side Gate Driver SOIC-8 | Infineon
The Infineon IRS21867STRPBF is a 600 V high-side and low-side gate driver IC for IGBTs and MOSFETs with typical 4 A source and 4 A sink output currents, packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8). It accepts 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level CMOS or TTL inputs on HIN and LIN, with built-in deadtime and matched propagation delays optimized for half-bridge power stages. A gate driver IC is a specialized power management interface that translates low-current logic signals (from a microcontroller, DSP, or analog controller) into the high-current gate drive required to switch power semiconductors such as IGBTs and MOSFETs. In the broader hierarchy, gate drivers sit between low-voltage control logic and high-voltage power switches; they are members of the power management IC family (subcategory: MOSFET/IGBT drivers). Floating-channel high-side drive, typically achieved with a bootstrap capacitor, allows the same low-voltage supply to drive a high-side switch referenced to a switching node that swings up to 600 V above ground. Key features include a 600 V absolute maximum offset voltage on the high-side channel, 4 A source / 4 A sink peak gate drive current, 22 ns typical rise time and 18 ns typical fall time into a 1 nF load, and a wide VCC operating range of 10 V to 20 V. Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) for both VCC and VBS protects the power stage from insufficient gate drive, and the monolithic HVIC + latch-immune CMOS construction provides high transient immunity on the high-side channel. The IRS21867S family uses a proprietary HVIC process that integrates a level-shifter, gate driver buffer, and protection logic on a single die. The input logic block is compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers without external level translation, reducing BOM cost in digital-controlled power converters. The matched propagation delays on the high-side and low-side channels minimize deadtime distortion in half-bridge topologies, directly improving efficiency and reducing shoot-through risk. Typical applications include motor drive inverters for small industrial pumps and fans, half-bridge and full-bridge DC-DC converters, solar microinverters, induction-heating power stages, and Class-D audio amplifiers. The 4 A peak drive strength is well matched to medium-power IGBTs and high-current MOSFETs commonly found in sub-1 kW converter designs. When designing with this part, use a low-ESR bootstrap diode (UF4007 or schottky) and a 1 µF or larger ceramic bootstrap capacitor to keep VBS above the UVLO threshold during high-side ON intervals. The 8-SOIC package has limited thermal dissipation; at switching frequencies above 50 kHz with continuous high-side switching, the exposed-pad version (IRS21867S) or the larger SOIC-14 IRS2184 family is recommended for headroom. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-brand alternatives (IRS21867SPBF, IRS21867STRPBF-Q1), and practical bootstrap design notes that complement the manufacturer datasheet.
IRS2301SPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver IC, SOIC-8 | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2301SPBF is a high-voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT half-bridge gate driver IC with independent high-side and low-side referenced output channels, packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (0.154", 3.90 mm body width). It delivers 0.35 A source / 0.35 A sink output current, supports a gate drive supply range of 5 V to 20 V, and is fully operational to a +600 V offset, with negative transient voltage tolerance and dV/dt immunity that make it suitable for bootstrap-powered half-bridge and full-bridge topologies. Logic inputs are CMOS/LSTTL compatible down to 3.3 V. A gate driver IC is a specialized power management device that sits between a low-power PWM controller and a power switch (MOSFET or IGBT), translating logic-level PWM signals into the high-current, high-voltage drive required to rapidly switch the power device's gate. The half-bridge driver architecture integrates a high-side and low-side driver in one package, allowing efficient synchronous switching in converters and motor drives. Within the broader IC hierarchy, the IRS2301SPBF belongs to the gate driver -> power management IC -> semiconductor device family, and is typically selected where a discrete bootstrap diode and two driver ICs would otherwise be required. Key specifications include 600 V maximum offset voltage, 200 ns typical propagation delay, 30 ns rise time and 28 ns fall time into 1 nF load, 5 V to 20 V VCC/VBS supply range, and a built-in deadtime control that prevents shoot-through in the half-bridge. The HVIC and latch-immune CMOS process enables ruggedized monolithic construction, and the floating channel is purpose-designed for bootstrap operation up to 600 V without an additional level shifter. According to the infineon IRS2301S datasheet (originally International Rectifier), the driver is dV/dt immune and tolerant to negative VS transients, which are common in motor drive and induction-heating applications. Architecturally, the IRS2301SPBF combines a logic-level input buffer, a high-voltage level shifter for the high-side channel, and two gate-drive buffer stages sized for 0.35 A peak source/sink. The internal deadtime generator inserts a fixed minimum delay between HO and LO transitions to prevent cross-conduction. The HVIC technology allows the high-side channel to operate while VS swings from below ground to +600 V relative to COM, which is essential for bootstrap-supplied half-bridge operation. Typical applications include three-phase variable-frequency motor drives, half-bridge and full-bridge DC-DC converters, induction-heating inverters, switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and class-D audio amplifiers. Designers select the IRS2301SPBF when they need a compact, monolithic half-bridge driver with proven 600 V capability. When designing with this device, the bootstrap diode and capacitor must be sized to refresh the high-side supply during each switching cycle. Place the VCC and VBS bypass capacitors as close to the IC pins as possible (typically 0.1 uF to 1 uF ceramic) to suppress ringing. The IRS2301S datasheet (Infineon, originally International Rectifier) provides reference schematics for bootstrap-component sizing. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the standalone datasheet, giving engineers a one-stop reference for sourcing and designing around the IRS2301SPBF.
IRS2302SPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2302SPBF is a 600 V half-bridge gate driver IC for power MOSFETs and IGBTs, delivering 200 mA source / 350 mA sink peak output current in an 8-pin SOIC (SOIC-8N) package with independent high-side and low-side referenced output channels. It operates from a 5 V to 20 V gate-drive supply (VCC) and tolerates floating high-side offsets up to +600 V, making it suitable for directly driving the upper switch in a half-bridge leg without an additional level shifter. What is a half-bridge gate driver? A half-bridge gate driver is an integrated circuit that translates low-voltage logic-level PWM signals from a microcontroller or DSP into the high-current, level-shifted gate-drive signals required to switch the high-side and low-side power transistors in a half-bridge topology. These drivers sit within the broader gate-driver IC family, which in turn belongs to power management semiconductors. They are essential building blocks in motor drives, switch-mode power supplies, and DC-AC inverters, where they provide logic-to-power isolation, level shifting, and timing/shoot-through protection between the controller and the switching power stage. Key features of the IRS2302SPBF include a typical propagation delay of 220 ns (some sources quote 200 ns), matched high-side/low-side delay paths, built-in dead-time control logic, and under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protection for both the VCC and VS (high-side floating supply) rails. The HVIC and latch-immune CMOS process enables monolithic construction that is dV/dt immune and tolerant to negative transient voltages on the VS node, eliminating the need for external protection diodes on the bootstrap rail in most applications. Architecturally, the IRS2302SPBF uses a bootstrap-capacitor technique for the high-side channel: a small external diode and capacitor generate a floating supply referenced to the switching node (VS), allowing the high-side output to swing with the half-bridge midpoint. This technique is widely used in sub-1 kW motor drive and SMPS designs because it requires only a single low-voltage supply rail. Compared with gate-drive transformers, the bootstrap approach is simpler and cheaper but limits the high-side on-time to the recharge period of the bootstrap capacitor. Typical applications include three-phase and single-phase motor drives (variable-frequency drives, fan and pump controllers), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), solar micro-inverters, induction-heating inverter stages, and half-bridge or push-pull switched-mode power converters. The 600 V floating channel makes it well-suited to 230 V and 380 V AC-line applications when paired with appropriately rated MOSFETs or 600 V-class IGBTs. When designing with the IRS2302SPBF, choose the bootstrap capacitor to maintain VS above the UVLO threshold during the worst-case high-side on-time, and verify that the bootstrap diode reverse-voltage rating exceeds the maximum DC bus voltage. A small gate-source resistor (10-47 ohm) on each power switch is recommended to control ringing and EMI without excessively slowing switching edges. The logic inputs are CMOS-compatible, allowing direct connection to a 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller without level-shifters. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, helping engineers shorten evaluation cycles and select verified second-source parts for risk-managed production.
IRS2302STRPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver | Infineon | SOIC-8
The Infineon IRS2302STRPBF is a 600 V half-bridge gate driver IC with integrated shutdown, delivering 0.2 A source and 0.35 A sink drive currents from an 8-pin SOIC (SOIC-8N) package. It operates from a VCC supply of 5 V to 20 V and drives the high-side and low-side of a half bridge configured from IGBTs or power MOSFETs. The floating high-side channel is designed for bootstrap operation, fully operational to +600 V with negative transient voltage tolerance and dV/dt immunity. According to Infineon's datasheet, propagation delays are typically 220 ns with matched channel-to-channel timing for symmetric switching. A half-bridge gate driver IC is a type of high-voltage level shifter and gate driver used in power electronics to control a pair of switches arranged in a totem-pole or half-bridge configuration. The device translates low-voltage PWM logic signals (3.3 V / 5 V) from a microcontroller or DSP into the high-voltage gate-drive signals required to switch the high-side power switch whose source/drain swings with the phase node. The driver belongs to the broader family of gate driver ICs, which sits within the power management semiconductor hierarchy: gate driver -> high-voltage half-bridge driver -> driver IC -> power management IC -> semiconductor. Key features include 3.3 V, 5 V, and 15 V logic-compatible inputs, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) for both VCC and VBS rails, cross-conduction prevention logic with built-in dead time, and a dedicated shutdown pin for fast protection response. The IRS2302STRPBF additionally provides soft turn-on, an external programmable dead-time architecture, and matched propagation delays to minimize duty-cycle distortion at high PWM frequencies. The 8-SOIC package is industry standard for this voltage class and is compatible with most half-bridge layouts designed around IR (now Infineon) driver generations. Architecturally the IRS2302STRPBF uses a level-shifted high-side channel with a floating well that tolerates the rapid dV/dt transients present on the phase node of a switching half-bridge, plus a ground-referenced low-side channel that shares VCC. The 0.2 A/0.35 A asymmetric source/sink ratings compensate for typical MOSFET gate-charge asymmetry and avoid shoot-through by ensuring that turn-off (sink) is faster than turn-on (source). The shutdown input overrides the logic inputs and forces both gate outputs low, providing a hardware path for fault propagation from an upstream comparator or DESAT detector. Typical applications include motor drive inverters for BLDC and PMSM motors, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) with half-bridge or active-clamp topologies, induction heating inverters, solar micro-inverters, and Class D audio amplifiers. The 600 V rating comfortably supports 230 V AC or 380 V DC bus designs when properly derated. When designing with the IRS2302STRPBF, choose a bootstrap diode with fast recovery and a low forward drop, and size the bootstrap capacitor to supply the high-side gate charge with no more than ~10% droop. Place the VCC and VBS bypass capacitors as close as possible to pins 1 and 8 respectively to suppress ringing. For noise immunity, route the shutdown line away from the switching node and add a small RC filter if long traces are unavoidable.
IRS2308SPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver IC | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2308SPBF is a 600V high-voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT gate driver with dependent high and low side referenced output channels, housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package. The IRS2308SPBF delivers 600 mA peak source/sink output current on both channels and supports a logic supply (VCC) range of 10V to 20V, with a logic input threshold compatible with standard CMOS or LSTTL outputs down to 3.3V logic. A gate driver IC is a specialized high-current buffer stage that sits between a low-power control signal (such as a microcontroller PWM output) and the gate of a power switching device. By providing level shifting, voltage translation, and high-current drive capability, gate drivers overcome the limitations of directly driving MOSFETs or IGBTs from logic-level outputs. The IRS2308SPBF belongs to the half-bridge gate driver category within the broader power management semiconductor family, designed specifically for driving N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in a half-bridge (or per-phase) configuration. Key features include an integrated bootstrap diode for the high-side supply, 540 ns typical propagation delay, deadtime control to prevent shoot-through, and matched propagation delays between channels. The output drivers feature a high pulse current buffer stage designed for minimum driver cross-conduction. The floating channel can be used to drive an N-channel power MOSFET or IGBT in the high side configuration which operates up to 600 V, making it well-suited for offline motor drive and SMPS applications. The architecture combines a level-shifted high-side channel with a ground-referenced low-side channel, both driven from a single PWM input (HIN/LIN). An integrated deadtime generation circuit prevents simultaneous turn-on of both outputs. The bootstrap technique supplies the high-side driver from a charge-pump diode and capacitor referenced to the switch node, eliminating the need for an isolated DC/DC converter. Typical applications include three-phase motor drives, DC/AC inverters, half-bridge and full-bridge SMPS topologies, motor control in industrial automation, and Class D audio amplifiers. The wide 600V blocking voltage supports universal input PFC front ends and 380-480V industrial bus systems. When designing with the IRS2308SPBF, ensure adequate VCC bypass capacitance (typically 0.1uF ceramic in parallel with an electrolytic) placed close to the VCC and COM pins. The bootstrap capacitor value must be sized to maintain VBS above the UVLO threshold under worst-case duty cycle and switching frequency conditions.

IRS2308STRPBF - 600V Half-Bridge Gate Driver | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2308STRPBF is a high-voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT half-bridge gate driver IC housed in an 8-pin SOIC package. It provides 600 V tolerance on the high-side floating channel and supports a gate drive supply range from 10 V to 20 V, with typical 0.29 A source and 0.6 A sink output currents, making it well suited for driving the upper and lower switches in half-bridge power stages. A half-bridge gate driver is a power-management IC that produces two synchronized gate-drive signals (high-side and low-side) for the two switches in a half-bridge converter topology. In the broader taxonomy, it belongs to gate drivers -> power MOSFET/IGBT drivers -> power management ICs -> integrated circuits. These drivers sit between a low-voltage logic controller (3.3 V CMOS or LSTTL) and the high-power switching devices, providing level shifting, dead-time control, and shoot-through protection that discrete gate-drive circuits cannot deliver reliably at high dV/dt. Key features include integrated shoot-through protection, 220 ns typical delay time, and a floating channel designed for bootstrap operation. The output drivers feature a high pulse current buffer stage designed for minimum driver cross-conduction. The IRS2308 is fully operational to +600 V, tolerant to negative transient voltage and high dV/dt, and offers undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection for both VCC and VBS supplies to prevent the power switches from operating in a partially-enhanced linear region. Architecturally, the IRS2308 uses a level-shifted high-side channel with a floating bootstrap supply (VBS) referenced to the switching node (VS), enabling true ground-referenced low-side control while the high-side driver swings with the phase node. This eliminates the need for an isolated bias supply and significantly simplifies half-bridge, full-bridge, and three-phase inverter designs. Logic inputs are compatible with 3.3 V CMOS or LSTTL outputs, allowing direct connection to microcontrollers and DSPs. Typical applications include motor drive inverters, switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), solar inverters, induction cooking, and general-purpose high-voltage half-bridge converters. Its 600 V rating makes it a strong fit for 120/230 V AC line-rectified bus applications up to 400 VDC. When designing with this part, ensure the bootstrap capacitor and diode are sized for the high-side quiescent current and the maximum switching frequency. Place the VCC bypass capacitor (typically 0.1 uF ceramic) as close as possible to pins 1 and 8, and keep the gate-drive loop area minimal to limit ringing at the power switch gate.
IRS2334MTRPBF - 600V 3-Phase Gate Driver HVIC, 28-MLPQ | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2334MTRPBF is a 600 V three-phase gate driver IC (HVIC) with typical 0.2 A source and 0.35 A sink gate-drive currents, integrated shoot-through protection, and a non-inverting input logic structure, packaged in a 28-pin MLPQ (5x5 mm) thermally-enhanced surface-mount package. According to the Infineon IRS2334M datasheet, this device is designed to drive six IGBT or MOSFET power switches arranged in a three-phase bridge, making it a complete bootstrap-ready high-side/low-side driver solution for motor and inverter systems up to 600 V bus rails. A three-phase gate driver HVIC (high-voltage integrated circuit) is a semiconductor device that sits between low-voltage control logic (microcontroller, DSP, or FPGA) and the high-voltage power stage. It belongs to the family of gate driver ICs, which are categorized within power management and motor/power-conversion semiconductors. The HVIC integrates level shifting, bootstrap circuitry, and dead-time management so that three half-bridges can be driven from a single low-voltage supply. The IRS2334MTRPBF features built-in shoot-through protection (preventing simultaneous turn-on of high-side and low-side switches in the same leg), undervoltage lockout (UVLO) for both VCC and VBS supplies, a typical 0.2 A source and 0.35 A sink gate-drive capability, and a 600 V absolute maximum offset voltage rating on the high-side channels. Its MLPQ-28 5x5 mm package exposes a thermal pad that lowers junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for high-frequency switching applications. The IC is fabricated using Infineon's Gen5 HVIC process, which combines CMOS input logic with high-voltage level-shifting DMOS transistors. This monolithic approach eliminates the need for optocouplers or pulse transformers, providing 600 V transient isolation through the silicon itself and supporting switching frequencies up to the UVLO/impedance-limited boundary. Typical applications include three-phase motor drives for HVAC compressors, fans, and pumps; industrial inverters; variable-frequency drives (VFDs); and switched-mode power-supply (SMPS) front-end stages. The device is also used in servo drives and small electric-vehicle traction inverters where space-constrained 28-MLPQ packaging is preferred. When designing with the IRS2334MTRPBF, carefully select bootstrap diode and capacitor values based on switching frequency and high-side quiescent current. A common design pitfall is undersizing the bootstrap capacitor, which causes high-side UVLO tripping under continuous high-side-on conditions. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, package-level pinout, drop-in compatible alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the standalone datasheet, helping engineers evaluate and source the IRS2334MTRPBF more efficiently.
IRS2452AM - Dual Class-D Audio Driver | Infineon
The Infineon Technologies IRS2452AM is a two-channel stereo Class D audio amplifier driver with integrated high-voltage PWM modulators and protections, supplied in a 32-MLPQ 7 x 7 mm package. The device works with external power MOSFETs to form a complete dual-channel Class D audio amplifier. A Class D audio amplifier controller is a power-management and signal-conditioning semiconductor that converts an analog audio input into high-frequency switching signals for external output MOSFETs. In the signal chain, the controller sits between the audio source and the power stage; it does not itself deliver the loudspeaker output current. Its role is modulation, timing, fault handling, and output-stage control. The verified manufacturer description identifies two integrated high-voltage, high-performance Class D audio amplifier driver channels, PWM modulators, and protections. When paired with external MOSFETs, these functions create a complete two-channel Class D audio amplifier. This architecture is useful where high audio output power is required without placing a large linear output stage inside the controller. The IRS2452AM supports design variants involving differential or single-ended audio input and protection-control options described in the application context supplied by the verified web results. Those operating details, protection thresholds, timing values, and modulation limits must be taken from the manufacturer datasheet rather than inferred. The available verified snippets do not provide numerical output-power, voltage, frequency, or thermal ratings. Typical uses include stereo audio receivers, powered speakers, home-theater amplifiers, soundbars, and other high-efficiency Class D power-amplifier platforms. Because the output power depends strongly on the selected external MOSFETs, transformerless or transformer-coupled topology, supply rails, modulation strategy, thermal design, and PCB layout, the complete power stage must be evaluated rather than judged from the IC alone. For a new design, use the Infineon datasheet and application guidance to verify electrical limits, pin functions, exposed-pad handling, input and gate-drive layout, and protection behavior. For a replacement, check whether the desired mode and protection functions are preserved; the verified Infineon community result identifies IRS2452BM as pin-compatible but without the target part's BTL mode. This page combines the verified manufacturer identity and package information, documented replacement limitations, and engineering guidance intended to make Class D controller selection more practical than a basic distributor listing.
IRS2453DSTRPBF - 600V Self-Oscillating Full-Bridge Gate Driver IC | Infineon
The Infineon IRS2453DSTRPBF is a 600 V self-oscillating full-bridge gate driver IC housed in a 14-pin SOIC (0.154", 3.90 mm) package. It integrates a high-voltage full-bridge gate driver with a front-end oscillator patterned after the industry-standard CMOS 555 timer, providing typical 0.18 A source and 0.26 A sink gate-drive currents for IGBTs and MOSFETs. A gate driver IC is a power-management device that level-shifts low-voltage logic PWM signals into the high-voltage, high-current drive required to switch the gate of a discrete power transistor (IGBT or MOSFET). Self-oscillating variants such as the IRS2453D family remove the need for an external PWM controller by generating the switching frequency with an internal RC timing network, simplifying the bill of materials for motor drive, ballast, and Class D audio converter stages. Within the broader taxonomy, gate drivers sit below power MOSFETs/IGBTs as the interface layer in the power-management hierarchy. Key features of the IRS2453DSTRPBF include integrated bootstrap FETs, programmable oscillator frequency set by a single external resistor-capacitor pair, a shutdown pin, deadtime control, and HVIC plus latch-immune CMOS technology for rugged monolithic construction. The 600 V blocking voltage allows it to drive low-side and high-side switches directly off rectified mains up to 220 VAC without an external level shifter. The IRS2453D family is based on the popular IR2153 half-bridge gate driver, extending the architecture from half-bridge to full-bridge. The high pulse-current buffer stage ensures fast gate rise and fall times, reducing switching losses in the driven power MOSFET or IGBT. The wide VCC range supports both 12 V and 15 V logic supplies typical of motor-control and SMPS designs. Typical applications include DC-DC converters, electronic ballasts for fluorescent and HID lamps, Class D audio amplifiers, induction heating, and small industrial motor drives (single-phase or three-phase with replication). The integrated oscillator makes it especially attractive for cost-sensitive ballast and converter designs that want to eliminate the dedicated PWM controller. When designing with this device, ensure the bootstrap capacitors are sized to supply the high-side gate charge during the full on-time without droop below the UVLO threshold. The shutdown pin must be pulled high (or left open per the datasheet) during normal operation to avoid unintended disable events. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-package alternatives, and practical design notes for the IRS2453DSTRPBF that go beyond the manufacturer datasheet.
IRS25751LTRPBF - 480V High-Voltage Start-Up PMIC | Infineon
The Infineon IRS25751LTRPBF is a 480 V high-voltage start-up PMIC housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 surface-mount package that delivers a regulated 4.5 mA constant current to charge a bootstrap or auxiliary supply from a rectified high-voltage bus, then drops to ultra-low standby current once the downstream converter begins operation. It is qualified to drive the initial supply rail of IGBT- and MOSFET-based power converters directly from rectified mains up to 480 V without an auxiliary winding or low-voltage dropper, dramatically simplifying PFC, LLC, half-bridge, and flyback start-up circuits. A high-voltage start-up IC is a specialized power management device that provides a small, regulated bias current to a switching converter's controller during cold start-up when no auxiliary winding voltage is yet available. After the converter begins switching and its auxiliary rail comes up, the start-up IC turns off to achieve micro-amp standby current. This category sits within the broader PMIC (power management integrated circuit) family and bridges high-voltage rectification rails to low-voltage control logic - functionally complementary to but distinct from DC-DC converters, linear regulators, and gate drivers. Key features of the IRS25751L include programmable upper turn-off threshold, an active-low ENN enable input, integrated over-temperature protection, and Infineon's proprietary HVIC (high-voltage integrated circuit) technology rated for 480 V bus operation. The part uses Infineon's junction-isolation HVIC process that integrates a 480 V-capable JFET input with low-voltage CMOS control, eliminating external bleed resistors and high-voltage transistors. Designed for IGBT and MOSFET half-bridge driver supplies, the IRS25751L is most commonly used as the start-up source for PFC + LLC combo controllers, single-stage flyback converters, and industrial motor drives. The 4.5 mA constant-current behavior is sufficient to charge the VCC capacitor of typical driver ICs within a few hundred milliseconds. When designing with this device, ensure VCC is decoupled with at least 1 uF of low-ESR ceramic capacitance and verify the upper turn-off threshold matches the downstream controller's UVLO release point. The ENN pin allows synchronization with PFC_OK signals or sequential turn-on in multi-stage converters, while the over-temperature protection engages at approximately 145 C junction.
IRS4427STRPBF - 25V Dual Low-Side Gate Driver, 3.3A | Infineon
The Infineon IRS4427STRPBF is a 25V dual low-side gate driver IC designed to switch IGBTs and power MOSFETs, housed in an 8-pin SOIC (DSO-8) package. It delivers 2.3A source current and 3.3A sink current with 50ns typical propagation delay per channel, and operates from a 6V to 20V gate-drive supply. The two independent channels use CMOS Schmitt-triggered inputs that are 3.3V and 5V logic compatible, enabling direct connection to modern microcontrollers and DSPs without level shifters. A gate driver IC (also called a MOSFET driver or IGBT driver) is a power-management device that sits between a low-power logic controller and a high-power switching transistor. It multiplies the current and voltage capability of the logic signal so the controller can toggle the gate of a MOSFET or IGBT efficiently. Within the broader hierarchy, the IRS4427 belongs to: gate driver -> driver IC -> power management IC -> semiconductor. Low-side drivers like the IRS4427 reference the load to the positive rail, making them simpler and cheaper than half-bridge or high-side drivers when the switching node is ground-referenced. Key features include matched propagation delay between the two channels for synchronous switching, non-inverting logic (output in phase with input), under-voltage lockout protection, and 2.3A/3.3A peak source/sink capability. The IRS4427 is pin-compatible with the IRS4428S variant, which provides one inverting and one non-inverting channel; it is also pin-compatible with the legacy IR4427 (pre-Infineon part number from International Rectifier, which Infineon acquired in 2015). The architecture uses a CMOS input stage with Schmitt-trigger hysteresis for noise immunity, followed by a push-pull output stage capable of delivering fast gate transitions. The high sink current (3.3A) is particularly valuable for discharging MOSFET gate charges quickly, minimizing switching losses in high-frequency applications. Two independent channels allow driving two separate switches, such as the two low-side FETs in a synchronous buck converter. Typical applications include driving the low-side MOSFET in DC-DC converters, motor control H-bridges, solenoid drivers, Class-D audio amplifiers, and general power switching. The dual-channel configuration is well suited for synchronous rectification in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS). When designing with this driver, place a 1uF ceramic bypass capacitor close to VCC to handle the high di/dt of gate-charge transfer, and keep the gate-drive traces short to minimize parasitic inductance. The IRS4427 outputs are designed to drive MOSFET gates directly; no external buffer is needed for typical gate charges up to 50nC. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in pin-compatible alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, helping engineers source and apply the IRS4427STRPBF with confidence.
IRS4428STRPBF - 25V Dual Low-Side 3.3A Gate Driver | Infineon
The Infineon IRS4428STRPBF is a dual low-side gate driver IC delivering 3.3 A peak output current in an 8-pin SOIC package with tape-and-reel packaging. It operates from a 6 V to 20 V gate-drive supply range and supports input logic levels down to 3.3 V, making it directly compatible with modern microcontrollers and DSPs. Each of the two independent driver channels is CMOS Schmitt-triggered and provides matched propagation delay for tight timing alignment in half-bridge or synchronous-rectifier topologies. A low-side gate driver is an integrated circuit that buffers low-power logic signals (such as a PWM output from a microcontroller) into the higher-current, fast-switching waveforms required to charge and discharge the gate of a power MOSFET, IGBT, or GaN transistor sitting on the low (source/emitter) side of the switching node. Low-side drivers sit within the broader hierarchy of gate-driver ICs, which themselves belong to power-management semiconductors; they are essential whenever logic-level signals cannot directly drive a power switch fast enough or hard enough to minimize switching losses. Key features include 3.3 V and 5 V logic compatibility on the inputs, a typical 50 ns propagation delay, matched channel-to-channel delay for symmetric drive timing, an inverting/non-inverting input pair, and under-voltage lockout (UVLO) on the VCC rail. The outputs source/sink up to 2.3 A peak per channel per the digchip datasheet excerpt, with 3.3 A peak commonly quoted by Infineon marketing material for the IRS4428 family. The 8-SOIC surface-mount package provides a compact footprint for high-density power boards. Internally, the IRS4428S uses a CMOS push-pull output stage optimized for sub-100 ns transitions at the gate of standard power MOSFETs. The matched propagation delay between the two channels (typically within a few nanoseconds) ensures balanced drive timing, which is critical in synchronous rectifiers and dual-switch applications where timing mismatch translates directly into shoot-through risk or efficiency loss. Typical applications include half-bridge and full-bridge motor drives, synchronous-rectifier gate drive in DC-DC converters, high-frequency switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), Class-D audio amplifiers, and industrial low-side switching of IGBT/MOSFET loads. The wide 6 V to 20 V VCC range allows direct drive of standard N-channel MOSFETs from a 12 V bus without an auxiliary charge pump. When designing with this part, place the VCC bypass capacitor (typically 0.1 uF ceramic) as close as possible to pin 8, and ensure the logic inputs are tied to a defined state when not driven to prevent unintended switching. The matched delay specification simplifies timing analysis in dual-channel designs.
IRS9102CXTSA1 - 12A VCSEL/LED Laser Driver IC | Infineon
The Infineon IRS9102CXTSA1 is a 12 A laser diode / LED driver IC purpose-built for indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) image sensors, packaged in the compact 10-lead PG-TSNP-10-4 surface-mount package. According to the Infineon product page, it delivers up to 12 A peak laser current with 250 MHz modulation bandwidth and integrated fail-safe protection, and it is designed to pair directly with Infineon's REAL3 iToF image sensor family while remaining usable in laser distance sensors (LDS) and LiDAR front-ends. A laser driver is a specialized power-management IC that converts a low-current logic signal into a precisely controlled high-current pulse that drives a laser diode or LED. Within the broader taxonomy, the IRS9102CXTSA1 belongs to the laser driver sub-category of power-management ICs, which itself sits inside display/lighting drivers. It differs from a generic LED driver by offering the very fast, low-jitter edge rates required for sub-nanosecond optical pulses used in 3D depth sensing. Key features include a wide supply voltage range of 2.52 V to 3.7 V (single Li-ion cell compatible), peak laser current up to 12 A, modulation bandwidth of 250 MHz, integrated fail-safe and eye-safety logic, and a small 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm PG-TSNP-10-4 footprint. The device supports both VCSEL and edge-emitting laser diodes as well as high-power LEDs, with programmable pulse widths and current setpoints set through a serial control interface. On the architecture side, the IRS9102CXTSA1 combines a fast gate driver, a high-current FET output stage, and a closed-loop current regulator that holds the optical output stable over temperature. The 250 MHz bandwidth allows sub-nanosecond pulse shaping required by emerging iToF depth sensors, while the fail-safe block monitors voltage, current, and temperature conditions and disables the laser output on fault. Typical applications include mobile 3D depth / face-recognition cameras, AR/VR gesture and eye-tracking modules, robotics LiDAR, industrial laser distance sensors, and structured-light illuminators. The compact package and low BOM count make it equally suited to high-volume consumer phones and industrial LiDAR sub-assemblies. When designing with this part, place the decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the VIN pins and keep the high-current loop area to a minimum to preserve pulse-edge fidelity. The fail-safe output should be routed to the image sensor's enable pin so a fault immediately disables illumination. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, application context, and design notes for the IRS9102CXTSA1 - content not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, optimized for engineers sourcing 3D-sensing illumination drivers.
IRSM808-105MH - 10A 500V Half-Bridge IPM | Infineon
The Infineon IRSM808-105MH is a 10 A, 500 V half-bridge Intelligent Power Module (IPM) integrating two 500 V Trench FREDFET power MOSFETs with a rugged HVIC gate driver in a single isolated PQFN 8x9 mm package. The half-bridge delivers up to 200 W of switching power for appliance motor drive applications, with a maximum RDS(on) of 0.8 ohm per switch, enabling energy-efficient operation without an external heatsink in most small-appliance designs. An Intelligent Power Module (IPM) is a fully integrated power-electronics building block that combines the power stage (typically IGBT or MOSFET switches) and the gate-driver circuitry into a single, electrically isolated package. IPMs sit within the broader power-semiconductor taxonomy: power module -> IPM -> half-bridge module -> motor-driver IPM. By co-packaging the gate driver with the power switches, IPMs reduce parasitic inductance, shrink PCB area, shorten design cycles, and provide built-in protection that would otherwise require dozens of discrete components. Key features of the IRSM808-105MH include 500 V blocking voltage per switch, 0.8 ohm maximum RDS(on), a built-in dead-time generation block, an enable/FAULT interface, and under-voltage lockout (UVLO) on the bootstrap supply. The module integrates two 500 V FREDFETs in a half-bridge topology, allowing designers to construct single-phase or three-phase inverter stages by combining two or three modules with a small microcontroller. The PQFN 8x9 mm footprint offers up to 60% smaller PCB area than discrete 3-phase inverter solutions. Typical applications include energy-efficient fan and pump motor drives, refrigerator compressor inverters, washing-machine drain-pump drives, dishwasher circulation pumps, and small HVAC blowers. The integrated dead-time control simplifies firmware, while the high 500 V rating provides ample margin across universal-input 110/220 Vac rectified DC-bus designs. The rugged HVIC tolerates negative VS transients and provides ESD-protected logic inputs, increasing field reliability compared with discrete gate-driver approaches.
IRSM808-105MHTR - 10A 500V Half-Bridge IPM | Infineon
The Infineon IRSM808-105MHTR is a 10 A, 500 V half-bridge Intelligent Power Module (IPM) housed in a 31-pin PQFN (8x9 mm) surface-mount package with an electrically isolated thermal pad. It integrates two Trench FREDFET power MOSFETs in a half-bridge topology together with a dedicated high-voltage gate driver IC, targeting advanced appliance motor drive applications such as energy-efficient fans and pumps. According to the Infineon datasheet, the module operates from a 13.5 V to 16.5 V logic supply and is rated for 200 W of continuous motor drive power. An Intelligent Power Module (IPM) is an integrated power-electronics building block that combines the power semiconductor switches (typically IGBTs or power MOSFETs), their gate drivers, and protection features (short-circuit, under-voltage, over-temperature) into a single isolated package. IPMs sit hierarchically between discrete MOSFET/IGBT half-bridges (lower integration) and full motor-control SoCs (higher integration), giving designers a compact, drop-in power stage for variable-frequency drives. The IRSM808-105MHTR leverages Infineon's low-RDS(on) Trench FREDFET process to minimize conduction losses in the 500 V power stage. Key specifications include a 500 V drain-source blocking voltage, 10 A continuous output current, integrated bootstrap diode for the high-side supply, and built-in over-current and thermal shutdown protection. The exposed top-side thermal pad provides a direct thermal path to the PCB copper or an optional heatsink, enabling compact designs without bulky external cooling hardware. Logic-level inputs accept 3.3 V or 5 V CMOS signals, simplifying interface to microcontrollers such as the XMC1000 or XMC4000 series. The architecture uses Infineon's benchmark high-voltage level-shift and bootstrap gate-drive technology to control the high-side switch without requiring an isolated DC/DC converter. This reduces BOM count and PCB area while improving reliability. The integrated dead-time generation prevents cross-conduction of the low-side and high-side MOSFETs, a common failure mode in discrete half-bridge designs. Typical applications include energy-efficient ceiling fans, refrigerator compressors, dishwasher circulation pumps, and small HVAC blowers - any appliance that benefits from variable-speed brushless DC or PMSM motor control. The 200 W rating covers most sub-1 HP residential appliance motors. When designing with this IPM, place low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors directly on the VCC and V+ pins to handle the gate-charge current spikes during switching. Ensure the exposed thermal pad has at least 1 square inch of copper pour and thermal vias to a second-layer inner plane for rated 10 A continuous operation.

IRSM836-035MA - 3A 500V IPM Motor Driver | Infineon CIPOS Nano
The Infineon IRSM836-035MA is a 3 A, 500 V Integrated Power Module (IPM) from the CIPOS Nano family, designed for advanced appliance motor drive applications including energy-efficient fans and pumps. It integrates a 3-phase high-voltage gate driver and six Trench MOSFETs (RDS(on) optimized for low conduction loss) into a single isolated QCCN surface-mount package (36 terminals). The module accepts logic-level PWM inputs from a microcontroller and produces three-phase outputs capable of driving permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) and AC induction loads directly from rectified mains up to 500 V. An Intelligent Power Module (IPM) is a power-management sub-system that co-packages power switches (IGBTs or MOSFETs), gate drivers, and often protection/monitoring circuitry into one isolated, thermally-conductive housing. Within the broader system hierarchy, an IPM sits between a discrete MOSFET/IGBT + gate-driver solution and a fully integrated motor-control SoC, and belongs to the wider category of motor-driver ICs and power-management ICs. Integrating the power stage simplifies layout, shortens switching loops, reduces EMI, and provides reinforced isolation between the high-voltage bus and the low-voltage control domain. Key features include 500 V blocking voltage, 3 A continuous phase current, integrated bootstrap diodes and gate drivers, fault reporting via the FLT pin with adjustable fault-clear timer, low RDS(on) Trench MOSFET technology, and an isolated surface-mount package that eliminates the need for external opto-couplers or bootstrap discretes. The IPM also provides under-voltage lockout (UVLO), over-current shutdown, and thermal shutdown protection, all coordinated through the internal logic. The module operates from a single +15 V bias supply and accepts 3.3 V/5 V logic inputs, simplifying interface to MCUs such as the XMC1000 or STM32 families. Typical applications include energy-efficient BLDC and PMSM fan drives, small-appliance pump motors, refrigerator compressors, and HVAC blower drives where the 500 V rating supports universal-mains rectification (110/220/230/240 VAC). The QCCN package provides a low thermal-resistance path, enabling compact layouts, while the integrated bootstrap circuitry eliminates six discrete diodes and their associated PCB area. Compared with a discrete 3-phase inverter built from six TO-220 MOSFETs plus a gate-driver IC, the IRSM836-035MA reduces part count by roughly 80% and shrinks the inverter footprint to a few square centimeters. When designing with the IRSM836-035MA, ensure the +15 V bias decoupling (typically 100 nF + 10 uF) is placed within 5 mm of the VCC pin, and keep high-voltage traces short and away from logic-level traces to minimize EMI coupling. Use the FLT pin output to coordinate safe shutdown with the host MCU, and select bootstrap capacitors based on the application's maximum PWM duty cycle and switching frequency.
