Product details
Overview
AUIRS2191STR from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an automotive-grade high-voltage, high-speed dual-channel gate driver IC for N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs in half-bridge configurations. It features independent high-side (HO) and low-side (LO) outputs, 600V offset capability, 3.5A peak output current per channel, matched 90ns propagation delays, and 3.3V/5V/15V logic compatibility - deployed in automotive DC-DC converters and high-frequency SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRS2191STR datasheet, AUIRS2191STR pinout, AUIRS2191STR application, or AUIRS2191STR equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible floating channel operation up to +600V, dV/dt-immune high-side level shifting, undervoltage lockout on both VBS and VCC rails, and CMOS Schmitt-triggered inputs with pull-down for noise immunity in harsh automotive environments.
Technical Context
The AUIRS2191STR integrates two independent HVIC-based gate drive channels: a floating high-side driver referenced to VS with ±600V offset tolerance, and a grounded low-side driver referenced to COM. Its level-shifting architecture uses pulse-transformer-coupled isolation and latch-immune CMOS technology to sustain fast switching under high dV/dt transients.
Each channel includes dedicated undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 8.9V turn-on and 8.2V turn-off thresholds (0.7V hysteresis) for VBS and VCC supplies, plus matched propagation delay (≤25ns max mismatch) enabling precise dead-time control in synchronous rectification and phase-shifted topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOFFSET Max | 600V - supports high-side switch operation in 400V–600V bus systems like automotive 48V/400V DC-DC converters |
| IO+ / IO− Peak | 3.5A - delivers sufficient gate charge current for fast turn-on/turn-off of 100–500nC IGBTs or power MOSFETs |
| tON / tOFF Typ | 90ns - enables >1MHz switching frequency with minimal timing skew between channels |
| Delay Matching Max | 25ns - ensures consistent channel timing for accurate dead-time implementation and reduced shoot-through risk |
| VIN Logic Compatibility | 3.3V/5V/15V - interfaces directly with microcontrollers, DSPs, and isolated PWM controllers without level-shifting |
| VBS & VCC UVLO | 8.9V (rising), 8.2V (falling) - prevents partial gate drive during supply brown-out, avoiding device stress or erratic switching |
| Package | 16-Lead SOIC Narrow Body - surface-mount package qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient) |
Pinout & Package
16-Lead SOIC Narrow Body (0.150" wide), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level MSL3. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; thermal pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side gate drive supply input | Provides regulated 10–20V supply for LO channel and logic core; requires local 1µF decoupling |
| COM | Low-side return reference | Ground reference for LO output and internal logic; must be connected to power ground with low-inductance path |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Sinks/sourcing 3.5A to drive N-channel MOSFET/IGBT gate; referenced to COM |
| VS | Floating high-side source reference | Connects to switch node between high-side FET and load; defines high-side channel ground potential |
| VB | High-side floating supply input | Accepts bootstrap or isolated supply (10–20V) referenced to VS; powers HO channel |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives high-side N-channel device gate relative to VS; withstands −0.3V to VB+0.3V |
| HIN | High-side input control | CMOS Schmitt-triggered active-high input; 3.3V/5V/15V compatible with internal pull-down |
| LIN | Low-side input control | CMOS Schmitt-triggered active-high input; independent of HIN for asymmetric PWM or brake control |
| VSS | Logic ground reference | Internal logic ground; tied to COM externally; separates digital noise from power ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating channel architecture | Enables high-side drive up to 600V offset without external level shifters or optocouplers |
| dV/dt immune level shifting | Withstands 50V/ns transient on VS node, eliminating false triggering in noisy motor drive or converter environments |
| Matched propagation delay | ≤25ns max difference between HO and LO channel delays, simplifying dead-time calculation and reducing design margin overhead |
| Independent UVLO per channel | Separate VBS and VCC undervoltage detection prevents partial drive during bootstrap capacitor discharge or supply sag |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C), including latch-up Class II Level A and ESD HBM 1000V |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS21844STRPBF | Same SOIC-16 package; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; lower dV/dt immunity (30V/ns); no VSS pin separation | Targeted at industrial SMPS, not automotive; unsuitable for ASIL-B systems requiring qualified components | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where qualification and robustness are secondary |
| UCC27211D | 600V-rated, but single-output high-side driver; requires external low-side driver; no integrated bootstrap diode support | Used in asymmetrical topologies (e.g., active clamp forward) where independent high-side control is prioritized | Choose when system-level integration allows discrete low-side driver placement and layout space permits separate bias supplies |
Compared with IRS21844STRPBF and UCC27211D, the AUIRS2191STR uniquely combines automotive qualification, matched dual-channel timing, and fully integrated bootstrap-ready architecture - making it the only option among the three suitable for AEC-Q100-compliant half-bridge DC-DC converters in EV/HEV platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pin?
The AUIRS2191STR is rated for 50V/ns dV/dt on the VS pin under recommended operating conditions. This specification is validated per AEC-Q100 stress testing and ensures reliable level-shifting operation without false triggering during fast-switching events in high-power converters.
Can the AUIRS2191STR drive SiC MOSFETs?
Yes - its 3.5A peak output current, 90ns propagation delay, and 15V gate drive capability support common 1200V SiC MOSFETs with gate charges up to 350nC. Layout must minimize loop inductance and ensure tight bootstrap capacitor placement to maintain VBS stability at >300kHz.
Is an external bootstrap diode required?
No external bootstrap diode is required for standard operation, as the internal circuitry supports direct connection to a bootstrap capacitor. However, a fast-recovery (≤35ns) 1A Schottky diode (e.g., RB055LAM-60) is strongly recommended to prevent reverse current flow and ensure reliable VBS recharge during high-duty-cycle operation.
What is the purpose of the VSS pin?
VSS is the internal logic ground reference, electrically isolated from COM in the die structure. It must be externally connected to COM to establish a common reference for input logic and UVLO comparators - failure to connect VSS to COM results in undefined input behavior and disabled UVLO protection.
