Product details
Overview
AUIRS2127S from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an automotive-grade, high-voltage single-channel IGBT/MOSFET gate driver with integrated desaturation over-current protection and floating high-side capability. It operates up to +600 V offset, delivers 290 mA source / 600 mA sink peak output current, features 200 ns turn-on / 175 ns turn-off propagation delay, and supports 3.3 V/5 V/15 V logic inputs for motor drive and inverter applications.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRS2127S datasheet, AUIRS2127S pinout, AUIRS2127S application, or AUIRS2127S equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V high-side floating operation, desaturation detection threshold (250 mV typ), undervoltage lockout (10.3 V typ VBSUV+), FAULT open-drain reporting, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power stages.
Technical Context
The AUIRS2127S implements a latch-immune HVIC process with monolithic CMOS logic and high-pulse-current buffer stages to minimize cross-conduction. Its floating channel uses bootstrap biasing and tolerates dV/dt transients up to 50 V/ns while maintaining stable operation across –5 V to +600 V VS offset.
It integrates dedicated current-sense (CS) input with 250 mV typical desaturation threshold, internal UVLO on VBS supply (10.3 V typ activation), and an open-drain FAULT output that asserts low upon over-current shutdown - all synchronized to the input signal polarity (in-phase output).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOFFSET max | +600 V - enables direct high-side N-channel IGBT/MOSFET drive in 400–600 V DC bus inverters |
| IO+ / IO− | 290 mA / 600 mA - sufficient gate charge delivery for ≤30 A IGBTs or 100 A MOSFETs at 15 V VBS |
| ton / toff | 200 ns / 175 ns - supports switching frequencies up to 200 kHz with tight timing control |
| VCS threshold | 250 mV (typ) - detects desaturation in IGBTs with 10–20 mΩ sense resistors at 10–20 A fault current |
| VBS UVLO | 10.3 V (typ) - prevents unreliable gate drive during bootstrap capacitor discharge or startup |
| dV/dt immunity | 50 V/ns - maintains logic integrity during fast high-side commutation in noisy motor drive environments |
| Logic compatibility | 3.3 V / 5 V / 15 V - interfaces directly with MCU GPIO, DSP outputs, or isolated level-shifted signals |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in an 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC-8, body size 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, pitch 1.27 mm), thermally rated for TJ ≤ 150°C and MSL3 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Logic supply input | Provides 10–20 V bias for internal logic and level-shifting circuitry; decoupling required near pin |
| COM | Logic ground reference | Common return for VCC, IN, and FAULT; must be connected to system low-side ground |
| IN | Logic input | CMOS/LSTTL-compatible signal; rising edge enables high-side output (in-phase behavior) |
| VHO | High-side gate drive output | Drives IGBT/MOSFET gate referenced to VS; capable of sourcing 290 mA and sinking 600 mA |
| VS | Floating high-side source reference | Return node for VHO and CS; tracks switching node voltage up to +600 V offset from COM |
| VB | Floating bootstrap supply input | Accepts bootstrap capacitor voltage (VS + 12–20 V); powers high-side driver stage |
| CS | Desaturation sense input | Monitors IGBT collector-emitter voltage via external resistor; triggers FAULT at 250 mV threshold |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during desaturation or UVLO event; requires external pull-up to VCC or microcontroller I/O |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated desaturation protection | Detects IGBT desaturation via CS pin with 250 mV threshold and <360 ns response, eliminating need for external comparator and delay circuits |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 0 (–40°C to +150°C TJ), including MSL3, HBM ±1000 V, CDM ±1000 V, and latch-up Class II - validated for under-hood automotive use |
| In-phase logic-to-output mapping | Output follows input state directly (AUIRS2127S variant), simplifying PWM control architecture versus inverted-output alternatives |
| Bootstrap-compatible floating channel | Enables high-side drive without isolated supplies; supports dV/dt up to 50 V/ns and VS offset up to +600 V relative to COM |
| 3.3 V logic compatibility | Accepts 3.3 V TTL/CMOS inputs without level shifting - interoperable with modern automotive MCUs and FPGAs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage single-channel gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2127S | Industrial-grade version; identical pinout and electrical specs but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C only) | Not suitable for under-hood automotive deployment; acceptable for industrial inverters or lab prototypes | Select when AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs qualification requirements |
| UCC21520DW | Isolated dual-channel driver with 5.7 kVRMS galvanic isolation; higher VDD rating (25 V), faster tON/tOFF (28 ns/20 ns), no integrated desat detection | Requires external desat circuitry; suited for isolated half-bridge or SiC MOSFET designs where creepage/clearance is critical | Choose for systems needing reinforced isolation or >1 MHz switching - not a drop-in replacement due to topology and feature mismatch |
Compared with IR2127S, AUIRS2127S adds automotive qualification and extended temperature margin; versus UCC21520DW, it trades isolation and speed for integrated desat protection and lower BOM count in non-isolated 600 V IGBT applications.

FAQ
What is the function of the CS pin on AUIRS2127S?
The CS (Current Sense) pin monitors voltage across an external sense resistor connected between the IGBT collector and the power device's emitter. When desaturation occurs, the voltage exceeds the internal 250 mV threshold, triggering a shutdown sequence and pulling the FAULT pin low within 360 ns. No external comparator or RC filter is needed.
Can AUIRS2127S drive both IGBTs and MOSFETs?
Yes - AUIRS2127S is explicitly characterized for both IGBT and N-channel MOSFET gate driving. Its 290 mA source / 600 mA sink capability and 200 ns / 175 ns propagation delays support typical gate charges of 100–300 nC. The desaturation protection is optimized for IGBTs but remains functional with MOSFETs using appropriate sense resistor values.
How does the FAULT pin behave during normal operation?
During normal operation, the FAULT pin remains high-impedance (open-drain). It pulls low only during active fault conditions: desaturation detection, VBS undervoltage lockout, or internal thermal shutdown. An external pull-up resistor to VCC is mandatory to ensure proper logic-level reporting to the controller.
Is bootstrap operation mandatory for AUIRS2127S high-side drive?
Yes - the VB pin requires a bootstrap capacitor charged from VCC through a diode to generate the floating supply needed for the high-side driver stage. While alternative isolated supplies can be used, bootstrap is the intended, validated, and most cost-effective method per the datasheet design guidelines and application notes DT97-3 and AN-1001.
