Product details
Overview
AUIRS2123STR from Infineon Technologies is an automotive-qualified high-side gate driver IC designed to control N-channel MOSFETs/IGBTs in floating high-voltage configurations up to +600 V. It features CMOS Schmitt-triggered input with internal pull-down, in-phase output logic, 10–20 V gate drive supply, 500 mA peak output current, and integrated undervoltage lockout on both VCC and VBS rails - deployed in automotive fuel injectors and SMPS half-bridge topologies.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRS2123STR datasheet, AUIRS2123STR pinout, AUIRS2123STR application, or AUIRS2123STR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V offset tolerance, 140 ns typical propagation delay, RESET- input compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V logic, latch-immune HVIC construction, and SOIC-8 automotive qualification per AEC-Q100.
Technical Context
The AUIRS2123STR integrates a floating high-side channel using proprietary HVIC technology, enabling operation with VS referenced up to +600 V relative to COM. Its level-shifting architecture tolerates −50 to +50 V/ns dV/dt transients without false triggering.
It implements dual UVLO detection (VCC and VBS), pulse-filtered input logic, and a reset-controlled RS latch that forces HO low upon RESET- assertion. The output stage delivers ±500 mA peak current into capacitive loads with 80 ns typical rise/fall times under 1 nF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| High-Side Offset Voltage | Up to +600 V - enables direct drive of high-side switches in buck, half-bridge, and SMPS topologies without external level shifters. |
| Gate Drive Supply Range | 10 V to 20 V - supports standard bootstrap capacitor designs with 15 V nominal bias for robust MOSFET turn-on. |
| Output Peak Current | ±500 mA - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge gate capacitance of power devices up to 100 nC Qg. |
| Propagation Delay | 140 ns (typ) - ensures precise timing alignment in high-frequency switching applications up to 60 kHz. |
| UVLO Thresholds | VBS: 6.6 V (falling), 7.2 V (rising); VCC: 6.6 V / 7.2 V - prevents erratic output during bootstrap capacitor discharge or supply brownout. |
| Logic Input Type | Schmitt-trigger with internal pull-down - eliminates noise-induced switching in automotive EMI environments. |
| RESET- Compatibility | 3.3 V and 5 V logic - allows direct interface with microcontrollers and FPGA I/O without level translation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), RoHS-compliant, MSL3, rated for automotive temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side logic supply input | Powers internal logic and level shifter; requires local 10–20 V decoupling near pin. |
| COM | Reference ground for logic and low-side circuitry | Common return path for input signals and VCC; must be tied to system ground, not floating node. |
| IN | Digital input controlling HO state | CMOS Schmitt-triggered; active-high; internal pull-down ensures default-off state at power-up. |
| HO | High-side gate drive output | Drives gate of N-channel MOSFET/IGBT referenced to VS; capable of sourcing/sinking 500 mA peak. |
| VB | Floating high-side supply input | Connects to bootstrap capacitor positive terminal; supplies gate driver stage referenced to VS. |
| VS | Floating source reference node | Return path for high-side output; tracks switching node voltage up to +600 V relative to COM. |
| RESET- | Active-low asynchronous reset | Forces HO low regardless of IN state; compatible with 3.3 V/5 V logic; internal 120 kΩ pull-up to VCC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating channel with dV/dt immunity | Tolerates −50 to +50 V/ns transients on VS node - eliminates false turn-on in noisy inverter or injector drive circuits. |
| Integrated dual UVLO protection | Independent lockout for VCC and VBS supplies - prevents partial drive and shoot-through during bootstrap recharge cycles. |
| In-phase output logic | HO follows IN state directly - simplifies control firmware and eliminates need for external inversion logic. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C), MSL3, HBM Class H1C - validated for under-hood engine control module deployment. |
| Reset- input with logic-level compatibility | Direct interface to MCU GPIO pins at 3.3 V or 5 V - enables safe shutdown during fault conditions without external buffers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS2123PbF | Industrial-grade (non-automotive), same pinout and electrical specs but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and RESET- input. | Not suitable for safety-critical automotive functions; acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS. | Select only if automotive qualification and reset functionality are not required. |
| UCC27531DR | Single-channel low-side driver with 5 A peak output; no floating channel or high-side capability. | Cannot replace AUIRS2123STR in high-side configurations; requires external level-shifting for high-side use. | Use only in low-side or bootstrap-assisted high-side designs where isolation and 600 V tolerance are not needed. |
Compared with IRS2123PbF and UCC27531DR, the AUIRS2123STR uniquely combines automotive qualification, integrated RESET-, and true 600 V floating high-side operation - making it irreplaceable in AEC-Q100-compliant injector and inverter modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pin?
The AUIRS2123STR is specified to tolerate −50 V/ns to +50 V/ns dV/dt on the VS pin without false triggering. This rating is verified per AEC-Q100 test conditions and ensures reliable operation during fast-switching events in inverter and injector circuits where voltage transients exceed 100 V/µs.
Can AUIRS2123STR drive IGBTs as well as MOSFETs?
Yes - the AUIRS2123STR is explicitly characterized for driving both N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs. Its ±500 mA peak output current and 140 ns propagation delay meet gate drive requirements for IGBTs with gate charge up to ~100 nC, as confirmed in Infineon Application Note AN-1098.
Is external bootstrap diode required when using AUIRS2123STR?
Yes - an external fast-recovery bootstrap diode (e.g., 1N4148WS or equivalent) is required between VCC and VB to charge the bootstrap capacitor during low-side conduction. The IC does not integrate this diode; omission causes VBS undervoltage and output disable.
Does RESET- require a pull-up resistor externally?
No - the AUIRS2123STR includes an internal 120 kΩ pull-up resistor to VCC on the RESET- pin. External pull-up is unnecessary unless specific timing or noise immunity enhancements are required per system-level EMC testing.
