Product details
Overview
IR1166SPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a secondary-side synchronous rectifier controller IC for flyback converters, supporting DCM/CrCM/CCM operation with 200 V drain-sense capability, 500 kHz max switching frequency, and ±1 A / −4 A gate drive output. It enables Schottky-diode replacement in AC-DC adapters and server SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IR1166SPBF datasheet, IR1166SPBF pinout, IR1166SPBF application, or IR1166SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include differential drain-voltage sensing accuracy, 35 ns turn-off propagation delay, 10.7 V gate-drive clamp, UVLO hysteresis of 1.57 V, and SOIC-8 compatibility with high-noise flyback environments.
Technical Context
The IR1166SPBF implements zero-current-transition detection via differential VDS sensing across the SR MOSFET, using dual comparators with programmable thresholds (VTH1 = −7 mV to −23 mV, VTH2 = −150 mV) and adaptive blanking (9–25 µs). Its internal regulator supports 11.4–18 V VCC operation with 2.2 mA quiescent current and 200 µA start-up current.
Gate drive features include 1 A source / 4 A sink peak current, 10.7 V clamped high-side output, 52 ns turn-on / 35 ns turn-off propagation delays (VDS-to-VGATE), and minimum on-time control (190–290 ns) set by RMOT. The IC integrates anti-bounce logic, double-pulse suppression, and OVT fault monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VD Sense Range | −5 V to 200 V pulse; enables direct high-side SR MOSFET drain monitoring without auxiliary winding |
| Max Switching Frequency | 500 kHz; supports high-density, high-efficiency flyback designs up to 150 W |
| VCC Operating Range | 11.4 V to 18 V; ensures stable operation across wide input line variations in universal AC adapters |
| Gate Drive Clamp | 10.7 V typical; prevents MOSFET overdrive while maintaining sufficient VGS for low RDS(on) conduction |
| Turn-off Propagation Delay | 35 ns typical; reduces body diode conduction time and associated losses in high-frequency flyback |
| Quiescent Current | 2.2 mA typical at 15 V VCC; meets <100 mW no-load power requirements for Energy Star 6.0 |
| Start-up Current | 200 µA maximum; allows direct VCC biasing from high-impedance startup networks |
Pinout & Package
IR1166SPBF is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC-8N, JEDEC MS-012AC), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance RΘJA = 128 °C/W under board-mounted still-air conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Supply input | Internal LDO input; requires 11.4–18 V with ≥10 µF local ceramic bypass |
| VGATE (Pin 8) | Gate driver output | Clamped 10.7 V push-pull output driving SR MOSFET gate directly |
| VD (Pin 5) | Drain voltage sense | Differential high-side sense input referenced to VS; withstands 200 V transients |
| VS (Pin 6) | Source voltage sense | Low-side reference for VDS measurement; connects to SR MOSFET source |
| MOT (Pin 3) | Minimum on-time resistor | External resistor sets minimum conduction time (190–290 ns) to prevent shoot-through |
| OVT (Pin 2) | Overvoltage threshold | Configures comparator trip point for VDS overvoltage protection (e.g., transformer reset spike) |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; 2.15–3.2 V high threshold enables operation; pulls up internally at 1.5 MΩ |
| GND (Pin 7) | Power ground | Common return for VCC, VGATE, and sense circuitry; must be low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential VDS sensing | Rejects common-mode noise up to 200 V, enabling reliable zero-current switching in high-dV/dt flyback secondaries |
| Programmable blanking window | 9–25 µs adjustable via external capacitor; suppresses false triggering during MOSFET turn-on ringing |
| Double-pulse suppression | Prevents erroneous re-triggering during critical conduction mode transitions, ensuring single-pulse per cycle |
| UVLO with hysteresis | 11.3 V turn-on / 9.0 V turn-off (1.57 V hysteresis); avoids oscillation near brown-out thresholds |
| Micropower start-up | 200 µA max start-up current allows direct biasing from high-value resistive dividers without auxiliary winding |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar secondary-side synchronous rectifier controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP6908GJ-Z | Integrated 5 V LDO bias; lower 1.2 V VTH1 threshold; 45 ns tDoff; SOIC-8 with thermal pad | Requires external VCC bootstrap; better suited for low-VOUT (<12 V) designs due to tighter threshold tolerance | Preferred when designing for <10 V outputs or needing integrated bias regulation |
| NCP4303ADR2G | Fixed 100 ns blanking; no MOT pin; 60 ns tDoff; 12 V gate clamp; wider VCC range (4.5–32 V) | No minimum on-time adjustment; less flexible in CrCM/CCM boundary handling; higher gate clamp reduces RDS(on) margin | Select when simplicity and wide input range outweigh need for adaptive blanking or precise timing control |
Compared with MP6908GJ-Z and NCP4303ADR2G, IR1166SPBF offers superior noise immunity via programmable blanking and differential sensing, tighter propagation delay control for high-frequency CrCM, and proven robustness in 200 V drain-sense telecom and server applications.

FAQ
What is the recommended layout practice for VD and VS pins?
Route VD and VS as a tightly coupled differential pair with matched trace lengths and minimal loop area. Place 100 pF ceramic capacitors directly at the pins to GND to suppress RF coupling. Avoid routing near primary-side switching nodes or transformer windings to maintain noise immunity.
Can IR1166SPBF drive multiple paralleled MOSFETs?
Yes - the 4 A peak sink current and 1 A source current enable direct drive of up to three 30 V, 5 mΩ N-channel MOSFETs in parallel. Gate trace inductance must be minimized, and individual 10 Ω gate resistors are recommended to dampen ringing and ensure simultaneous switching.
How does the OVT pin affect protection behavior?
The OVT pin sets the VDS overvoltage threshold for automatic shutdown: when VD exceeds (VOVT + 15 V), the gate driver disables for 1 ms. With OVT tied to VCC, threshold is ~60 V; grounded, it's ~15 V - allowing configuration for different MOSFET voltage ratings and transformer reset margins.
Is IR1166SPBF compatible with quasi-resonant (QR) controllers?
Yes - its 500 kHz max frequency, 35 ns turn-off delay, and adaptive blanking support QR flyback operation. When paired with primary-side QR controllers like ICE2QS03G, the IC maintains accurate zero-current switching across variable frequency ranges without external frequency compensation.
