Product details
Overview
DGD21814S14-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-voltage half-bridge gate driver IC for N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs, featuring 600V high-side bootstrap operation, 1.9A source / 2.3A sink output current, TTL/CMOS-compatible 3.3V logic inputs, and operation from –40°C to +125°C in SO-14 (Type TH) package. It enables robust motor control and DC-AC inverter designs with integrated UVLO and negative transient-tolerant outputs.
For engineers reviewing the DGD21814S14-13 datasheet, DGD21814S14-13 pinout, DGD21814S14-13 application in half-bridge power stages, or DGD21814S14-13 equivalent for high-side/low-side drive replacement, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, real-world use cases, and confirmed alternatives aligned with Diodes' official documentation.
Technical Context
The DGD21814S14-13 integrates independent high-side and low-side drivers with floating high-side architecture supporting up to 600V offset (VS), dVS/dt immunity of 50 V/ns, and matched propagation delays (≤35 ns skew). Its Schmitt-triggered HIN/LIN inputs ensure noise-immune switching at 3.3V logic levels.
It implements dual undervoltage lockout (VBSUV± and VCCUV± thresholds at ~8.2–9.8V), supports bootstrap gate supply (VB) and fixed logic supply (VCC) independently rated 10–20V, and tolerates –0.3V to VCC+0.3V on LO and VS–0.3V to VB+0.3V on HO - critical for shoot-through prevention in hard-switching topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| High-Side Voltage Rating | 600V max offset (VS) - enables direct integration in 400V DC bus inverters without level-shifting circuitry |
| Output Drive Strength | 1.9A source / 2.3A sink - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge >10nF gate capacitance with <60ns rise/fall times |
| Logic Input Compatibility | 3.3V–20V CMOS/TTL - allows direct interface with microcontrollers, DSPs, and PWM controllers without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay Match | ≤35 ns HO/LO delay skew - minimizes dead-time uncertainty and reduces risk of cross-conduction in half-bridge |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for industrial motor drives and automotive under-hood auxiliary power modules |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC = 10–20V; VB = VS +10V to VS +20V - supports flexible bootstrap design across wide input voltage ranges |
| UVLO Thresholds | VCCUV± = 7.4–9.8V; VBSUV± = 7.4–9.8V - ensures reliable turn-off before gate threshold collapse during brown-out conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-14 (Type TH), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant molded plastic with matte tin-plated leads and moisture sensitivity level 3 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (HIN) | High-side logic input | In-phase control signal for HO; Schmitt-triggered, 3.3V-compatible, internal pull-down |
| 2 (LIN) | Low-side logic input | In-phase control signal for LO; identical electrical specs to HIN |
| 3 (VSS) | Logic ground reference | Reference for HIN/LIN inputs and VCC supply; isolated from COM and VS |
| 5 (COM) | Low-side return path | Common node for LO output, VCC return, and low-side source connection |
| 6 (LO) | Low-side gate drive output | Push-pull driver referenced to COM; tolerant to –0.3V undershoot |
| 7 (VCC) | Fixed low-side/logic supply | 10–20V input powering LIN, VSS circuitry, and LO driver stage |
| 11 (VS) | High-side floating supply return | Reference for HO output and bootstrap capacitor bottom; tracks high-side source potential |
| 12 (HO) | High-side gate drive output | Level-shifted push-pull driver referenced to VS; operates up to VB = VS + 20V |
| 13 (VB) | High-side floating supply | Bootstrap-supplied rail for HO driver; must be ≥VS + 10V for full enhancement |
| 4, 8, 9, 10, 14 | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating high-side driver | Supports 600V bootstrap operation (VB–VS ≤ 600V), eliminating need for isolated supplies or pulse transformers |
| Matched HO/LO timing | ≤35 ns propagation delay mismatch ensures precise dead-time control and prevents shoot-through in half-bridge |
| Negative transient tolerance | HO and LO outputs withstand –0.3V undershoot relative to their respective references (VS and COM), improving noise resilience |
| Integrated UVLO protection | Independent high-side (VBSUV) and low-side (VCCUV) lockout with hysteresis prevents erratic switching during supply sag |
| 3.3V logic compatibility | HIN/LIN accept 3.3V signals directly - simplifies interface with modern MCUs and avoids external level-shifting components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS21844STRPBF | Higher 600V rating same; 2.5A sink/2.0A source; no 3.3V logic support (min 5V VIH); slower tON/tOFF (~250/300ns) | Limited to 5V-control systems; less suitable for low-voltage MCU interfaces | Select when legacy 5V PWM controllers are used and higher sink current is prioritized over logic-level flexibility |
| DGD21814M | Direct replacement per Diodes; identical pinout, specs, and SO-14 package; marked "M" for updated wafer/process | No functional change; designed for continuity in new designs where DGD21814S14-13 is obsolete | Preferred for all new designs - maintains full compatibility while ensuring long-term supply availability |
Compared with IRS21844STRPBF, DGD21814S14-13 offers superior 3.3V logic compatibility and tighter timing matching, while DGD21814M provides identical functionality with assured production continuity - making it the recommended upgrade path for obsolescence mitigation.

FAQ
Is DGD21814S14-13 still in production?
No - Diodes Incorporated officially discontinued DGD21814S14-13 and designated it obsolete. The recommended replacement is DGD21814M, which shares identical electrical specifications, pinout, and SO-14 packaging. Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock for repair and maintenance, but new designs should migrate to the M-suffix variant.
Can DGD21814S14-13 drive IGBTs reliably?
Yes - the DGD21814S14-13 is explicitly characterized for driving both N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs in half-bridge configurations. Its 2.3A sink current and 1.9A source current meet typical IGBT gate drive requirements, and its negative transient tolerance on HO/LO helps suppress Miller-induced turn-on during high dV/dt switching.
What is the minimum bootstrap capacitor value required?
While not specified in the datasheet as a fixed value, Diodes recommends using ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitors with low ESR for the bootstrap network. This ensures adequate charge replenishment during continuous high-side conduction at typical switching frequencies up to 200 kHz, given the device's 60 µA typical quiescent VBS supply current (IBSQ).
Does DGD21814S14-13 support independent high-side and low-side enable control?
No - the DGD21814S14-13 uses complementary logic inputs (HIN and LIN) with no dedicated enable/disable pins. Control is achieved by driving HIN/LIN with synchronized or anti-phase signals; dead-time must be implemented externally in the controller. There is no hardware disable function for either channel.
