Product details
Overview
DGD2184MS8-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 600V half-bridge gate driver IC in SO-8 (Type TH) package, designed to drive two N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in high-side/low-side configuration. It features 1.9A source / 2.3A sink output current, fixed 395ns internal deadtime, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs down to 3.3V. Used in DC-DC converters, motor controls, and Class D amplifiers where bootstrap-based high-side switching up to 600V is required.
For engineers reviewing the DGD2184MS8-13 datasheet, DGD2184MS8-13 pinout, DGD2184MS8-13 application, or DGD2184MS8-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include high-side floating capability (VS up to 600V), matched propagation delays (tDMON ≤ 90ns), undervoltage lockout thresholds (VCCUV− = 7.4V), and SO-8 thermal resistance (RθJA = 200°C/W).
Technical Context
The DGD2184MS8-13 integrates independent high-side and low-side drivers with a fixed internal deadtime circuit (345–445ns) to prevent shoot-through during switching transitions. Its bootstrap architecture enables high-side operation with VS referenced up to 600V relative to COM, while maintaining logic-level compatibility via Schmitt-triggered IN and SD* inputs.
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) operates independently on VCC (8.2V typical turn-on) and VB/VS (8.9V typical), ensuring safe startup and fault recovery. Output stages deliver fast edge rates (tr ≤ 60ns, tf ≤ 35ns) into 1nF loads and tolerate negative transients at LO and HO pins without latch-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| High-Side Voltage Rating | 600V max VS offset - enables use in 400V DC bus systems with margin |
| Output Current | 1.9A source / 2.3A sink - drives gate charge of ≥100nC MOSFETs at 100kHz+ |
| Internal Deadtime | 395ns typical - prevents cross-conduction in half-bridge without external timing |
| Logic Supply Range | 10V–20V VCC - supports industrial 12V/15V rails with UVLO hysteresis |
| Input Compatibility | 3.3V–5V TTL/CMOS - interfaces directly with microcontrollers and PWM controllers |
| Propagation Delay | 585ns (ton), 170ns (toff) - ensures precise timing control in high-frequency inverters |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO-8 (Type TH), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Logic input for both HO and LO outputs | In-phase control signal; Schmitt-triggered with internal pull-down for noise immunity |
| 2 SD* | Active-low shutdown input | Disables both outputs when pulled low; threshold VSDTH− = 0.8V (max) |
| 3 COM | Low-side return and logic ground reference | Common return path for VCC, IN, SD*, and LO - must be low-impedance |
| 4 LO | Low-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET gate referenced to COM; tolerant to −5V transient |
| 5 VCC | Fixed supply for low-side driver and logic | 10–20V input with UVLO (7.4–9.8V); supplies quiescent current ICCQ ≤ 1.8mA |
| 6 VS | High-side floating supply return | Reference node for high-side driver; tracks high-side source voltage up to 600V |
| 7 HO | High-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET gate referenced to VS; tolerant to −0.3V transient |
| 8 VB | High-side floating supply input | Bootstrap-supplied rail (VS + 10V to VS + 20V); powers high-side driver stage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating high-side driver | Supports VS up to 600V with dVS/dt tolerance of 50V/ns - enables robust bootstrap operation in noisy power stages |
| Matched propagation delay | tDMON ≤ 90ns, tDMOFF ≤ 40ns - minimizes timing skew between HO/LO edges for precise deadtime enforcement |
| Integrated UVLO protection | Independent VCC and VB/VS monitoring with hysteresis - prevents erratic switching during brown-out or bootstrap failure |
| High-current output buffers | 1.9A/2.3A peak drive - reduces MOSFET switching losses and enables faster transition times |
| SO-8 thermal performance | RθJA = 200°C/W on 2-layer FR-4 - allows 625mW dissipation at TA = 25°C before derating |
Applications
| DC-DC Converters | Motor Control Systems |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2104S | Lower 600V VS rating but no integrated deadtime; requires external RC timing network | Lacks fixed deadtime and tighter propagation matching (tDMON up to 150ns) | Choose when design flexibility in deadtime tuning outweighs need for guaranteed shoot-through prevention |
| FAN7382MX | Higher 625V VS rating, but lower 1.5A/1.8A output current and wider deadtime variation (±100ns) | Less suitable for high-speed, high-current MOSFETs due to reduced drive strength and looser timing specs | Prefer for cost-sensitive, lower-power (<500W) applications where thermal margin is less constrained |
Compared with IR2104S and FAN7382MX, the DGD2184MS8-13 delivers superior timing precision (≤90ns delay matching), higher drive current, and guaranteed internal deadtime-making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-reliability 1kW+ half-bridge designs where shoot-through risk must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dVS/dt for reliable high-side operation?
The DGD2184MS8-13 is rated for dVS/dt up to 50V/ns, verified per datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings. This specification ensures stable operation during fast-switching events in hard-switched topologies. Exceeding this rate may cause false triggering or latch-up; layout practices such as short, low-inductance VS traces and proper bootstrap capacitor placement are critical to maintain compliance.
Does the DGD2184MS8-13 support 3.3V-only microcontroller interfacing without level shifting?
Yes - both IN and SD* inputs accept 3.3V logic levels directly, with VIH(min) = 2.5V and VIL(max) = 0.8V at VCC = 10–20V. The Schmitt-triggered inputs provide 1.7V hysteresis, enhancing noise immunity in electrically noisy power stage environments without requiring external level shifters or pull-up resistors.
How is undervoltage lockout implemented on the high-side supply (VB/VS)?
UVLO on the high-side monitors the VB-to-VS differential. Activation occurs when VB − VS falls below 7.4V (VBSUV−), disabling HO until the differential rises above 8.9V (VBSUV+). This dual-threshold hysteresis prevents oscillation during bootstrap capacitor recharge cycles and ensures clean startup after power-up or fault recovery.
Can the DGD2184MS8-13 drive IGBTs in parallel configurations?
Yes - its 2.3A sink current and 1.9A source current support driving multiple paralleled IGBT gates, provided total gate charge (Qg) remains within safe SOA limits. Layout must ensure matched gate trace lengths and individual gate resistors to avoid dynamic current imbalance; thermal derating applies above 100°C junction temperature.
