Product details
Overview
AUIRS2127STR 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 output stage. It operates up to +600 V offset voltage, delivers 290 mA source / 600 mA sink peak output current, and features 200 ns turn-on / 175 ns turn-off propagation delays. Used in high-reliability motor drives such as forklift traction inverters and hydraulic pump controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRS2127STR datasheet, AUIRS2127STR pinout, AUIRS2127STR application, or AUIRS2127STR equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, bootstrap-compatible floating channel, desaturation detection threshold (250 mV typ), fault-indicating open-drain FAULT pin, and 9–20 V gate drive range for automotive systems.
Technical Context
This driver employs a proprietary HVIC (High-Voltage IC) process with latch-immune CMOS logic to enable robust operation under harsh dV/dt transients (up to 50 V/ns). Its floating channel supports high-side N-channel device driving with VS referenced to COM and VB up to 625 V absolute.
The integrated desaturation protection monitors the VCS pin with a 250 mV typical threshold and triggers shutdown within 360 ns (tcs), pulling the FAULT pin low via a 125 Ω on-resistance. Input logic accepts 3.3 V/5 V/15 V levels, and output phase matches input (non-inverting) per AUIRS2127STR's designation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2127PbF | Industrial-grade (not AEC-Q100 qualified); identical pinout and electrical specs except for qualification and MSL rating (MSL1) | Lacks automotive temperature range validation and fault-reporting reliability testing | Select only for non-automotive industrial inverters where AEC-Q100 is not mandated |
| IRS2127PbF | No desaturation protection; no VCS pin or FAULT output; otherwise same gate drive capability and timing | Requires external desat circuitry and fault management logic | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs integrated protection needs and board space allows discrete sensing |

FAQ
What is the function of the VCS pin on AUIRS2127STR?
The VCS pin senses voltage across an external current-sense resistor connected between the IGBT collector and the positive rail. When desaturation occurs, the sensed voltage exceeds 250 mV (typical), triggering internal shutdown and asserting the FAULT pin low within 360 ns. This protects the IGBT from thermal runaway during short-circuit conditions.
Can AUIRS2127STR drive both IGBTs and MOSFETs?
Yes - AUIRS2127STR is designed to drive either N-channel IGBTs or MOSFETs. Its 290 mA source / 600 mA sink capability supports gate charge requirements of devices up to ~30 A rated current at typical 15 kHz switching frequencies, with appropriate external gate resistors selected for desired dv/dt control.
How does the FAULT pin behave during normal operation?
During normal operation, the FAULT pin remains high-impedance (open-drain). It pulls low only when desaturation, VBS undervoltage, or internal fault is detected. An external pull-up resistor (typically 10 kΩ to VCC) is required to generate a valid logic-high signal for MCU interrupt or status monitoring.
Is bootstrap capacitor sizing critical for AUIRS2127STR?
Yes - insufficient bootstrap capacitance causes VBS droop below the 10.3 V UVLO threshold, leading to intermittent gate drive loss. For 15 kHz operation with 290 mA peak current, a minimum 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor (X7R, 25 V rating) placed close to VB/VS pins is recommended to maintain stable high-side bias.
