Product details
Overview
AUIRS2191S from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a high-voltage, high-speed dual-channel gate driver IC for automotive-grade N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs, featuring independent high-side (HO) and low-side (LO) outputs, 600V offset tolerance, 3.5A peak output current per channel, and matched 90ns propagation delays. It enables robust half-bridge control in high-frequency DC-DC converters up to 600V bus voltage.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRS2191S datasheet, AUIRS2191S pinout, AUIRS2191S application, or AUIRS2191S equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible floating channel operation, AEC-Q100 qualification, 3.3V/5V/15V logic compatibility, undervoltage lockout on both channels, and dV/dt immunity in harsh automotive environments.
Technical Context
The AUIRS2191S integrates two independent gate drive channels with HVIC-based level-shifting for the high-side output, enabling operation with VS referenced up to +600V relative to COM. Its CMOS Schmitt-triggered inputs support 3.3V–15V logic levels, and internal UVLO thresholds (8.9V ±0.7V for VBS/VCC) prevent erratic switching during supply brownouts.
Propagation delay matching ≤25ns between HO and LO ensures precise dead-time control in high-frequency synchronous rectification. The device uses latch-immune monolithic construction and features ESD protection (HBM 1000V, CDM 1000V) and MSL3 moisture sensitivity rating for reflow compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOFFSET | 600V max - supports high-side switching in 400–600V DC bus systems like EV onboard chargers |
| VOUT Range | 10–20V - configurable gate drive voltage for optimal MOSFET/IGBT turn-on loss vs. speed trade-off |
| IO+ / IO− | 3.5A typical - sufficient peak current to charge/discharge 10nF gate capacitance in <100ns |
| tON / tOFF | 90ns typical - enables >1MHz switching frequency with tight timing control |
| Delay Matching | ≤25ns max - minimizes shoot-through risk in half-bridge topologies without external dead-time circuitry |
| Logic Compatibility | 3.3V/5V/15V - interfaces directly with MCU GPIO, DSP, or isolated digital controllers |
| UVLO Threshold | 8.9V ±0.7V - prevents partial turn-on of power devices during startup or fault conditions |
Pinout & Package
16-Lead SOIC Narrow Body (0.150" wide), RoHS-compliant, MSL3 rated. Pinout validated per IRF datasheet Rev. Nov 2013, Figure 1 and Lead Assignments page 9.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side gate supply input | Provides regulated 10–20V bias for LO channel and logic core; requires local 0.1µF + 10µF decoupling |
| COM | Low-side reference ground | Common return path for LO output and logic ground; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives N-MOSFET/IGBT gate referenced to COM; capable of 3.5A sink/source |
| VS | Floating high-side source reference | Connects to switch node; defines return for HO channel; tolerates −5V to +600V transients |
| VB | Floating high-side bootstrap supply | Accepts 10–20V from bootstrap capacitor; powers HO driver stage referenced to VS |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives N-MOSFET/IGBT gate referenced to VS; matches LO timing within 25ns |
| HIN | High-side input control | CMOS Schmitt-triggered, active-high; 3.3V–15V compatible; internal pull-down ensures default OFF state |
| LIN | Low-side input control | CMOS Schmitt-triggered, active-high; independent of HIN; enables asymmetric PWM or phase-shifted control |
| VSS | Logic ground reference | Internal logic supply return; tied to COM externally but electrically isolated in HVIC structure |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating channel with 600V offset capability | Enables direct high-side drive in buck, boost, and half-bridge topologies without external level shifters |
| Matched HO/LO propagation delay (≤25ns) | Reduces need for external dead-time insertion, simplifying layout and improving efficiency at >500kHz |
| Independent UVLO on VCC and VB supplies | Prevents partial conduction during bootstrap capacitor discharge or low-side supply sag |
| dV/dt immune design (50V/ns) | Suppresses false triggering during fast-switching events in noisy motor drive or converter environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage dual-channel gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS21844SPbF | Non-automotive grade; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; identical pinout and electrical specs except for temperature range (−40°C to +125°C vs. −40°C to +110°C) | Suitable for industrial SMPS but not certified for automotive safety-critical subsystems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification requirements |
| UCC27211D | Higher 4A peak output; no integrated high-side level shifter-requires external bootstrap diode/capacitor; no VS dV/dt rating specified | Better for discrete high-side designs where layout control over bootstrap loop is prioritized | Choose for higher-current Si MOSFETs or when tighter thermal management is needed via SOIC-8 package |
Compared with IRS21844SPbF and UCC27211D, the AUIRS2191S uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 600V dV/dt immunity, and matched timing in a single SOIC-16 package-making it the only option qualified for automotive high-side gate drive without external level-shifting components.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt at the VS pin?
The AUIRS2191S is rated for 50V/ns dV/dt at the VS pin, verified per AEC-Q100 stress testing. This immunity prevents false triggering during fast-switching transitions in high-frequency converters and motor drives, eliminating need for external RC snubbers in most layouts.
Can the AUIRS2191S drive SiC MOSFETs?
Yes-the AUIRS2191S delivers 3.5A peak gate current and supports 10–20V VCC/VB, making it suitable for driving common 1200V SiC MOSFETs with Qg ≤15nC. Layout best practices (short gate loops, Kelvin source connections) are required to maintain switching integrity above 300kHz.
Is an external bootstrap diode required?
No external diode is required for standard bootstrap operation-the AUIRS2191S integrates internal diode functionality within its HVIC structure. However, a discrete ultrafast 100V/1A diode (e.g., BAS21) is recommended for improved reliability in high-temperature or high-dV/dt environments.
Does the device support 3.3V-only microcontroller interfaces?
Yes-its CMOS Schmitt-triggered inputs operate down to 2.5V VIH threshold with 3.3V supply, and internal pull-down resistors ensure defined low-state behavior. No level-shifting circuitry is needed when interfacing with 3.3V automotive MCUs such as Infineon's AURIX TC3xx series.
