Product details
Overview
IR1169SPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a secondary-side synchronous rectifier controller IC for isolated DC-DC converters, supporting Flyback, Forward, and Half-bridge topologies in both CCM and DCM modes. It delivers 1 A peak gate-source drive current, 4 A peak sink current, 50 ns turn-off propagation delay, 10.7 V internally clamped gate drive voltage, and operates with VCC from 11 V to 20 V. It enables Schottky-diode replacement in telecom and server SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IR1169SPBF datasheet, IR1169SPBF pinout, IR1169SPBF application, or IR1169SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential VDS sensing architecture, cycle-by-cycle MOT check circuit, SYNC-driven CCM control, and 200 V drain-sense capability - all critical for high-efficiency, noise-immune SR design in energy-compliant AC-DC adapters.
Technical Context
The IR1169SPBF implements dual-threshold differential VDS sensing with programmable blanking (9–25 µs) and double-pulse suppression to prevent false triggering during transient noise events. Its gate driver integrates internal 10.7 V clamp and delivers asymmetric drive strength: +1 A source / −4 A sink into 10 nF load.
It features a dedicated MOT pin with 5–75 kΩ resistor programmability for minimum on-time control (180–3600 ns), and an enable input synchronized to VDS transitions to eliminate shoot-through risk. The IC uses capacitor-coupled primary-side communication via SYNC, eliminating optocouplers in CCM operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VD Sense Range | −3 V to +200 V: supports high-voltage secondary-side sensing without external level shifters |
| Turn-off Prop Delay | 50 ns typ.: enables precise zero-current switching timing in >300 kHz designs |
| Gate Drive Clamp | 10.7 V: prevents MOSFET overdrive while ensuring full enhancement of logic-level N-channel devices |
| IO Sink/Source | −4 A / +1 A peak: drives paralleled MOSFETs with fast turn-off critical for multi-phase SR layouts |
| VCC Range | 11 V to 20 V: compatible with auxiliary winding regulation schemes across wide input line conditions |
| Min On-Time Control | 180–3600 ns via RMOT: prevents premature turn-on during light-load DCM and ensures stable CCM boundary operation |
| UVLO Threshold | 9.4 V turn-on / 8.6 V turn-off: provides clean power sequencing and brown-out immunity |
Pinout & Package
IR1169SPBF is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC-8N) with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm pitch. Thermal resistance θJA = 128 °C/W under board-mounted, still-air conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Supply input | Internal regulator input; requires local 100 nF bypass to GND; powers all internal blocks |
| GATE (Pin 2) | Gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET gate directly; clamped at 10.7 V; sinks up to 4 A for fast turn-off |
| SYNC (Pin 3) | CCM control input | Active-low signal from primary controller to force synchronous MOSFET turn-off in continuous conduction mode |
| MOT (Pin 4) | Minimum on-time programming | Resistor-connected pin setting blanking window and minimum conduction time (5–75 kΩ range) |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable input | Logic-level enable synchronized to VDS transition; avoids gate drive during MOSFET overlap |
| GND (Pin 6) | Signal ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance connection to power ground plane |
| VS (Pin 7) | Source sense input | Differential input referenced to GND; senses MOSFET source node for current polarity detection |
| VD (Pin 8) | Drain sense input | Differential input referenced to VS; withstands up to 200 V transient; enables direct high-side sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Cycle-by-cycle MOT check | Prevents multiple false gate pulses per switching cycle by validating valid VDS transitions before enabling drive |
| Differential VDS sensing | Rejects common-mode noise up to ±2 V on VD/VS inputs, enabling reliable zero-current detection in noisy SMPS environments |
| Capacitor-coupled SYNC interface | Eliminates optocoupler and associated bias circuitry in CCM designs, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Programmable blanking window | 9–25 µs adjustable via RMOT, suppressing gate drive during MOSFET turn-on/drain ringing without compromising efficiency |
| UVLO with hysteresis | 1.1 V hysteresis between 9.4 V turn-on and 8.6 V turn-off ensures stable startup and shutdown under varying auxiliary winding regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous rectifier controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC24612DR | Higher VDS rating (250 V), integrated adaptive dead-time control, lower quiescent current (600 µA) | Better suited for high-input-voltage offline adapters (>300 VAC) and ultra-low standby designs | Select when >200 V drain sensing or sub-1 mW sleep power is required |
| MP6908GJ-Z | Single-supply operation (4.5–32 V), faster turn-off (35 ns), no external MOT resistor needed | Optimized for compact USB PD adapters with aggressive size constraints and high-frequency operation | Select when board space is limited and 500 kHz+ switching with minimal external components is prioritized |
Compared with UCC24612DR and MP6908GJ-Z, the IR1169SPBF offers superior noise immunity via programmable blanking and proven robustness in high-noise telecom/server environments, but requires more external components and lacks adaptive dead-time tuning.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for IR1169SPBF?
The IR1169SPBF is rated for up to 500 kHz operation, verified under typical conditions with CLOAD = 10 nF and VCC = 15 V. At this frequency, propagation delays (50 ns turn-off, 70 ns turn-on) and blanking window settings ensure reliable zero-current switching without false triggering. Operation above 500 kHz may compromise noise immunity and timing margin.
How does the MOT pin affect minimum on-time behavior?
The MOT pin sets minimum on-time (180–3600 ns) and blanking duration (9–25 µs) via an external resistor (5–75 kΩ). Lower RMOT reduces both parameters, preventing premature turn-on in DCM; higher values extend blanking to suppress noise-induced false triggers in high-dV/dt environments like server SMPS.
Can IR1169SPBF drive multiple paralleled MOSFETs?
Yes - the IR1169SPBF's −4 A peak sink current and +1 A source current are designed to drive multiple paralleled N-channel MOSFETs. Layout best practices require matched gate trace lengths, Kelvin source connections, and individual gate resistors to ensure balanced turn-on/turn-off and avoid current imbalance or oscillation.
Is external UVLO circuitry required for IR1169SPBF?
No - IR1169SPBF includes internal UVLO with 9.4 V turn-on threshold and 8.6 V turn-off threshold (1.1 V hysteresis). This eliminates need for external supervision circuits. However, VCC must be supplied from a stable auxiliary winding or bias supply capable of delivering ≥10 mA under full load to sustain regulation.
