Diodes Incorporated DGD2113S16-13

Overview

DGD2113S16-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-voltage, dual-channel gate driver IC for N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs in half-bridge configurations, featuring independent high-side (600V floating capability) and low-side outputs, 2.5A source/sink current, 105ns/94ns typical turn-on/turn-off delay, and operation from -40°C to +125°C in SO-16 (Type TH) package. It enables high-frequency switching in isolated DC-DC converters and motor drives.

For engineers reviewing the DGD2113S16-13 datasheet, DGD2113S16-13 pinout, DGD2113S16-13 application, or DGD2113S16-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include high-side voltage rating (600V), propagation delay matching (≤20ns max), logic-level compatibility (3.3V–20V), negative transient tolerance, and cycle-by-cycle shutdown functionality.

Technical Context

The DGD2113S16-13 implements independent high-side and low-side drivers with separate floating (VB/VS) and fixed (VCC) supply rails, enabling operation with high dVS/dt transients up to 50 V/ns. Its edge-triggered shutdown circuit responds within 140ns and supports logic-level inputs referenced to VSS with ±5V offset tolerance.

It uses internal charge-pump-based level-shifting for high-side drive, supports 10V–20V gate supply (VCC/VB), and features undervoltage lockout on both VB (7.0–9.7V thresholds) and VCC (7.0–9.6V thresholds) to prevent shoot-through during brownout conditions.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable dVS/dt for reliable high-side operation?

The DGD2113S16-13 is rated for 50 V/ns maximum dVS/dt on the VS pin. Exceeding this rate risks false triggering of the level shifter or premature shutdown. Layout best practices-such as minimizing loop area between VS, VB, and HO, and using local ceramic decoupling-must be followed to maintain immunity at rated dVS/dt.

Can the SD pin be used for overcurrent protection directly from a current-sense amplifier?

Yes - the SD pin accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible active-low signals and triggers immediate, simultaneous disable of both HO and LO. When interfaced with a fast current-sense comparator (e.g., <200ns response), it provides cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection without software intervention or additional logic.

Is the DGD2113S16-13 pin-compatible with the DGD2110S16-13?

Yes - both share identical SO-16 (Type TH) pinout, electrical interface, and functional block diagram. The only difference is high-side voltage rating: DGD2113 supports 600V VS offset versus 500V for DGD2110. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from DGD2110 to DGD2113 for higher bus voltage margin.

Does the device require external bootstrap components when used in high-side configuration?

Yes - a bootstrap diode and capacitor are required between VB and VS to replenish the high-side floating supply. Diodes recommends a 1N4148W or equivalent fast-switching diode and ≥0.1µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pins 6 (VS) and 7 (VB) to ensure stable VB regulation under PWM duty cycles >95%.
