Product details
Overview
IR1168STRPBF from International Rectifier is a dual smart secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver IC for LLC resonant half-bridge converters, featuring 200V drain-sense capability, 70ns turn-off propagation delay, 4A peak sink current, and 10.7V clamped gate drive-enabling high-efficiency replacement of Schottky diodes in AC-DC adapters and LCD TV power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IR1168STRPBF datasheet, IR1168STRPBF pinout, IR1168STRPBF application, or IR1168STRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include differential VDS sensing accuracy, anti-bounce logic timing, UVLO thresholds (7.0–8.5V), gate drive clamp stability, and SOIC-8 thermal performance under 500kHz switching.
Technical Context
The IR1168STRPBF implements dual-channel independent sensing and control logic with separate VS1/VS2 and VD1/VD2 inputs to monitor two N-channel MOSFETs' drain-source voltages differentially. Its blanking pulse (9–25µs) and double-pulse suppression ensure noise-immune zero-current switching detection across fixed- and variable-frequency LLC topologies.
It integrates micropower start-up (140µA), ultra-low quiescent current (2.6–3.8mA), and internal gate voltage clamping at 10.7V, enabling direct drive of paralleled MOSFETs without external level-shifting or protection circuitry in high-density 12–19V output designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VD Rating | 200V continuous - supports primary-side referenced synchronous rectification in 12–19V output LLC converters up to 400W |
| Gate Drive Clamp | 10.7V typical - limits MOSFET VGS to safe level without external Zener, compatible with 12V-rated logic-level MOSFETs |
| Turn-off Propagation Delay | 70ns typical - enables precise zero-current turn-off timing critical for <500kHz resonant operation |
| Peak Sink Current | 4A - ensures fast MOSFET turn-off even with 4.7nF gate capacitance (e.g., IPP65R099C7) |
| VCC UVLO Threshold | 7.0–8.0V - prevents erratic startup during brown-out conditions in universal-input AC-DC adapters |
| Quiescent Current | 2.6–3.8mA - minimizes no-load power loss in energy-efficient PDP/LCD TV standby modes |
| Blanking Pulse Width | 9–25µs - suppresses false triggering from ringing during MOSFET commutation in high-dV/dt LLC nodes |
Pinout & Package
IR1168STRPBF is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC-8N, MSL2, RoHS-compliant) with standard thermal pad layout and 128°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance under board-mounted still-air conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (LOAD) | Common source node connection | Reference point for both VS1 and VS2 inputs; ties to shared source of SR1/SR2 MOSFETs |
| 2 (VCC) | Supply input | Accepts 8.6–18V DC; powers internal logic and gate drivers; includes 7.0–8.5V UVLO hysteresis |
| 3 (VD1) | Drain sense input (Channel 1) | Differential input measuring VDS of first SR MOSFET; rated –3V to +200V |
| 4 (VD2) | Drain sense input (Channel 2) | Differential input measuring VDS of second SR MOSFET; shares same 200V rating and noise rejection |
| 5 (VS2) | Source sense input (Channel 2) | Connects to source of SR2; used with VD2 to detect conduction direction and zero-crossing |
| 6 (VS1) | Source sense input (Channel 1) | Connects to source of SR1; forms differential pair with VD1 for accurate current polarity detection |
| 7 (GND) | Power ground reference | Return path for VCC, gate drivers, and internal comparators; must be low-inductance PCB trace |
| 8 (GATE1 / GATE2) | Output driver terminals | Two independent open-drain outputs with 1A source / 4A sink capability; each drives one SR MOSFET gate directly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent VDS sensing | Enables simultaneous control of two SR MOSFETs in center-tapped or dual-output LLC secondaries without cross-talk |
| Anti-bounce logic + double-pulse suppression | Eliminates false turn-on caused by parasitic ringing during zero-voltage switching transitions |
| Micropower start-up (140µA) | Allows direct connection to auxiliary winding without dedicated start-up resistor, reducing BOM count |
| 70ns turn-off propagation delay | Supports tight timing margins required for >300kHz LLC operation with minimal dead-time penalty |
| Internal 10.7V gate clamp | Removes need for external gate Zener diode, simplifying layout and improving reliability in high-volume adapter designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual synchronous rectifier driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC24612DR | Lower VD rating (100V), 50ns tOFF, integrated adaptive dead-time control | Better suited for lower-output-voltage (<12V) USB-PD and GaN-based adapters | Select when designing sub-100W GaN LLC with tighter timing control needs |
| MP6908GJ-Z | Single-channel only, 120V VD, 80ns tOFF, no dual sensing inputs | Requires two ICs for dual-SR implementation; higher component count and layout complexity | Choose only if legacy design uses MP6908 footprint and cost outweighs performance trade-offs |
Compared with UCC24612DR and MP6908GJ-Z, IR1168STRPBF delivers superior 200V robustness and true dual-channel integration-making it optimal for high-output-voltage (>15V), high-power (>200W) industrial and display power supplies where single-package simplicity and noise immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for IR1168STRPBF?
The IR1168STRPBF is characterized and guaranteed up to 500kHz, with typical turn-off propagation delay of 70ns and blanking pulse width of 9–25µs. At 450kHz, it maintains reliable zero-current switching detection in LLC converters with ≤200V VDS swing and <50V/µs dV/dt. Operation beyond 500kHz risks missed turn-off events due to comparator recovery limitations.
Can IR1168STRPBF drive paralleled MOSFETs on a single channel?
Yes-each GATE1 and GATE2 output provides 4A peak sink current and 1A source current, supporting direct drive of up to three 12V-rated 5mΩ MOSFETs in parallel per channel (e.g., IPB052N15N3 G) without external buffers. Layout must minimize gate loop inductance to preserve 70ns timing integrity.
Does IR1168STRPBF require external components for basic operation?
No external components are required for core functionality: VCC decoupling (100nF ceramic) and gate resistors (0–10Ω) are recommended but not mandatory. The IC integrates UVLO, gate clamp, blanking timer, and anti-bounce logic-enabling functional operation with only VCC, VDx/VSx, and GATE connections.
Is IR1168STRPBF compatible with SiC or GaN secondary-side switches?
No-IR1168STRPBF is optimized for silicon N-channel MOSFETs with threshold voltages of 2–4V and gate charge ≤60nC. Its 10.7V gate clamp and 70ns timing are mismatched for GaN HEMTs (requiring <6V drive) or SiC MOSFETs (needing >15V turn-on). Use UCC24612 or MP6908 for wide-bandgap compatibility.
