Product details
Overview
IR2085S from Infineon Technologies is a self-oscillating half-bridge gate driver IC with integrated 50% duty cycle oscillator, rated for 100V floating offset, ±1A peak drive current per channel, programmable frequency up to 500kHz, and adjustable dead-time from 50ns to 200ns. It enables compact, low-component-count DC-bus converters in 36–75V distributed power systems.
For engineers reviewing the IR2085S datasheet, IR2085S pinout, IR2085S application, or IR2085S equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible high-side operation up to +100Vdc, pulse width matching within ±25ns, undervoltage lockout thresholds (7.3V typ), soft-start behavior after overcurrent events, and CT/RT-based frequency/dead-time tuning.
Technical Context
The IR2085S implements a fixed 50% duty cycle oscillator whose frequency is set externally via RT and CT (fOSC = 1/(2·RT·CT)), with CT also determining dead-time. Its floating high-side channel supports bootstrap operation up to +100Vdc referenced to VS, and internal soft-start modulates pulse width during startup and post-fault recovery.
Overcurrent protection triggers on CS pin voltage exceeding 200–350mV thresholds, initiating shutdown and automatic restart. Undervoltage lockout acts independently on VCC (7.3V typ) and VB (7.3V typ), while HO/LO outputs maintain pulse width matching within ±25ns across VS = 0–100V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Self-oscillating half-bridge driver with fixed 50% duty cycle |
| VOFFSET (max) | 100V - supports bootstrap high-side operation up to +100Vdc above VS |
| IO+/IO− (peak) | ±1.0A - sufficient to directly drive low-Qg MOSFETs without external buffers |
| fOSC (max) | 500kHz - enables high-frequency converter designs with reduced magnetics size |
| Dead-time range | 50–200ns - adjustable via CT value to prevent shoot-through in fast-switching bridges |
| Pulse matching | ±25ns - ensures symmetrical high/low output timing across full VS operating range |
| UVLO threshold | 7.3V (typ) on both VCC and VB - prevents erratic operation during brown-out conditions |
Pinout & Package
IR2085S is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012AA), with exposed pad not electrically connected. The package supports surface-mount assembly and provides thermal resistance RthJA = 200°C/W under board-mounted, still-air conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Logic supply input | Bias voltage source (10–15V); powers internal logic and low-side driver; UVLO active below 7.3V |
| GND | Signal and power ground reference | Common return for all internal functions; requires low-impedance PCB ground plane |
| Vb | High-side floating supply input | Bootstrap-derived supply for high-side driver; must be ≥ VCC + 10V for reliable operation |
| VS | High-side floating supply return | Connects directly to high-side MOSFET source; defines floating reference for HO output |
| HO | High-side gate drive output | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; capable of ±1A peak current; referenced to VS |
| LO | Low-side gate drive output | Drives low-side MOSFET gate; capable of ±1A peak current; referenced to GND |
| CS | Overcurrent sense input | Monitors current-sense resistor voltage; trips shutdown at 200–350mV; initiates soft start on recovery |
| OSC | Oscillator timing interface | Connects external RT and CT to set fOSC and dead-time; CT value directly scales dead-time |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated oscillator + driver | Eliminates need for external clock generator and level-shifting circuitry in half-bridge control |
| Adjustable dead-time | 50–200ns via CT selection - enables precise shoot-through prevention without external delay networks |
| Internal soft-start | Automatically extends pulse width at power-up and after overcurrent fault - prevents inrush current and ensures controlled startup |
| Independent UVLO | Separate thresholds on VCC and VB - guarantees safe operation even if bootstrap supply lags bias supply |
| Pulse width matching | ±25ns tolerance across 0–100V VS swing - maintains balanced switching in wide-input-voltage converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS21844SPbF | External oscillator required; no integrated 50% oscillator; higher VBS rating (600V) | Suited for higher bus voltages (>100V); lacks self-oscillation simplification | Select when bootstrap operation >100V is needed and external clock control is preferred |
| UCC27201AD | No integrated oscillator or dead-time control; 4A peak drive; 120V VDD rating | Requires external PWM controller and dead-time generator; higher drive strength for larger MOSFETs | Select when maximum gate drive current (>1A) and independent PWM timing are required |
Compared with IRS21844SPbF and UCC27201AD, the IR2085S uniquely integrates oscillator and dead-time tuning in one SO-8 package-reducing component count and layout complexity for 36–75V self-oscillating half-bridge converters where simplicity and space savings outweigh the need for external timing flexibility or ultra-high drive current.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended VCC voltage for reliable IR2085S operation?
The IR2085S specifies a typical undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of 7.3V on VCC, but reliable operation-including symmetrical HO/LO output pulses-requires VCC ≥ 9.5V. Operation between 7.5V and 8.5V may cause pulse asymmetry due to marginal internal bias margins, as confirmed in the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table.
How is dead-time adjusted on the IR2085S, and what is its practical tuning range?
Dead-time is set solely by the CT capacitor value connected to the OSC pin: lower CT yields shorter dead-time (down to 50ns), higher CT yields longer dead-time (up to 200ns). RT sets frequency only; CT does not affect fOSC. Datasheet Figure 2 confirms 50–200ns range across CT = 47–470pF with RT = 10–100kΩ.
Can the IR2085S drive high-side MOSFETs with VDS > 100V?
No-the IR2085S is rated for a maximum high-side floating supply offset (VS) of 100V. Exceeding this violates Absolute Maximum Ratings (VS ≤ Vb + 0.3V, Vb ≤ 150V), risking device failure. For >100V bus applications, use alternatives like IRS21844SPbF rated for 600V VBS.
Does the IR2085S require external bootstrap diode and capacitor, and what are critical layout guidelines?
Yes-bootstrap operation requires a low-leakage Schottky diode and ceramic capacitor connected between Vb and VS. Layout must place these components within 5mm of the IR2085S pins, use short direct traces to VS and Vb, and avoid routing noisy signals near the bootstrap loop to prevent false triggering or gate drive collapse.
