Product details
Overview
DGD2106MS8-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-voltage, high-speed dual-channel gate driver IC for N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs in half-bridge configurations, featuring 600V high-side bootstrap operation, 10–20V VCC supply range, and -40°C to +125°C operating temperature. It delivers 290mA peak high-side and 600mA peak low-side pulsed output current with <300ns propagation delay and <220ns rise time, enabling use in high-frequency DC-DC converters and motor control inverters.
For engineers reviewing the DGD2106MS8-13 datasheet, DGD2106MS8-13 pinout, DGD2106MS8-13 application, or DGD2106MS8-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible 600V high-side capability, TTL/CMOS-compatible 3.3V logic inputs, Schmitt-triggered inputs with internal pull-down, independent undervoltage lockout on VCC and VB, and SO-8 package thermal performance at 200°C/W RθJA.
Technical Context
The DGD2106MS8-13 integrates independent high-side and low-side drivers with floating high-side channel referenced to VS, supporting bootstrap operation up to 600V offset. Its logic inputs (HIN/LIN) accept 0–5V signals with Schmitt triggering and internal pull-down, ensuring noise immunity and defined startup state.
It features separate undervoltage lockout thresholds for VCC (7.0–9.8V) and VB (7.0–9.8V), each with 0.7V hysteresis, and tolerates negative transients on outputs. The device operates with dVS/dt immunity up to 50V/ns and supports CL = 1000pF loads with sub-300ns propagation delays and matched timing (≤30ns delay mismatch).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| High-Side Voltage Rating | 600V max VS-to-VB offset - enables bootstrap-based half-bridge operation in 400V DC bus systems |
| Supply Voltage Range (VCC) | 10V to 20V - supports industrial and automotive-grade 12V/15V gate drive rails |
| Logic Input Compatibility | 3.3V/5V TTL/CMOS - allows direct interface with microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level-shifting |
| Propagation Delay (tON/tOFF) | 100–300ns - ensures precise timing control in >100kHz switching applications |
| Output Peak Current (HO/LO) | 290mA (HO), 600mA (LO) - drives gate capacitance of medium-power MOSFETs (e.g., Qg ≈ 30nC) with fast edge rates |
| UVLO Threshold Hysteresis | 0.7V - prevents oscillation during supply ramp-up/down in noisy power environments |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 200°C/W - defines maximum continuous power dissipation (≤0.625W) on standard 2-layer FR-4 PCB |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side/low-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS21844STRPBF | Higher 650V high-side rating; integrated bootstrap diode; no Schmitt inputs; 100ns typical tON | Preferred in higher-voltage PFC stages where integrated diode simplifies layout; lacks 3.3V logic compatibility | Select when bootstrap diode integration reduces BOM count and 650V margin is required; verify logic interface compatibility |
| LM5113MMX/NOPB | Separate high-side/low-side enable pins; 100V max VS; 2A peak output; requires external level shifter for 3.3V logic | Better suited for low-voltage synchronous buck regulators (<60V bus); not suitable for 400V+ inverters | Choose for high-current, low-voltage DC-DC where 2A drive strength outweighs voltage limitations |
Compared with IRS21844STRPBF and LM5113MMX/NOPB, the DGD2106MS8-13 uniquely balances 600V capability, 3.3V logic support, and SO-8 thermal performance-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, mid-power industrial inverters and 400V-class SMPS where layout simplicity and noise immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dVS/dt for reliable DGD2106MS8-13 operation?
The DGD2106MS8-13 is rated for 50V/ns dVS/dt, verified under recommended operating conditions. This specification ensures immunity to false triggering during fast-switching transitions in hard-switched topologies. Exceeding this rate may cause unintended high-side turn-on due to capacitive coupling; layout practices such as minimized VS loop area and proper gate resistor selection are essential to maintain margin.
Can DGD2106MS8-13 drive IGBTs directly without external components?
Yes-the DGD2106MS8-13 provides sufficient 290mA/600mA peak output current and 15V gate drive capability to directly drive medium-power IGBTs with gate charge ≤50nC. Its output voltage swing (0.05V saturation at 2mA) and negative transient tolerance ensure reliable turn-off and latch-up immunity, eliminating need for external gate resistors in most cases.
Does DGD2106MS8-13 require external bootstrap diode and capacitor?
Yes-it requires an external bootstrap diode (fast recovery, ≥100V, ≤100ns trr) and capacitor (typically 0.1µF X7R ceramic). Unlike integrated-diode drivers, the DGD2106MS8-13 relies on external components for bootstrap charging; Diodes recommends using a 1N4148W or equivalent, placed within 5mm of VB/VS pins to minimize parasitic inductance.
How does the dual UVLO function protect the power stage?
The DGD2106MS8-13 implements independent UVLO on VCC (7.0–9.8V) and VB (7.0–9.8V), each with 0.7V hysteresis. If either supply falls below its threshold, both HO and LO outputs are forced low, preventing partial gate drive that could cause shoot-through or device destruction-critical during startup, brownout, or bootstrap capacitor discharge events.
