Product details
Overview
IR2085STR from Infineon Technologies is a self-oscillating half-bridge gate driver IC with integrated 50% duty cycle oscillator, 100V floating channel, ±1A peak drive current, adjustable 50–200ns dead-time, and programmable up to 500kHz switching frequency. It targets primary-side control in 36–75V DC-bus converters for telecom and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IR2085STR datasheet, IR2085STR pinout, IR2085STR application, or IR2085STR equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible high-side operation up to +100V, pulse width matching within ±25ns, internal soft-start behavior after overcurrent events, and CT/RT-based frequency/dead-time co-tuning.
Technical Context
The IR2085STR implements a fixed 50% duty cycle oscillator whose frequency is set externally via RT (10–100kΩ) and CT (47–470pF), with fOSC = 1/(2·RT·CT). Dead-time is directly controlled by CT value and ranges from 50ns to 200ns without additional circuitry.
It integrates undervoltage lockout on both VCC (7.3V typical turn-on) and VBS, internal soft-start that scales pulse width during startup and post-fault recovery, and adjustable overcurrent protection triggered at 200–300mV on the CS pin with 200ns shutdown delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOFFSET max | 100V - supports bootstrap high-side operation up to +100V referenced to VS |
| IO+/IO− | ±1.0A - sufficient to drive low-Qg MOSFETs at up to 500kHz without external buffers |
| fOSC max | 500kHz - enables compact magnetics in high-density 48V DC-bus converters |
| Dead-time range | 50–200ns - prevents shoot-through in half-bridge topologies with discrete MOSFETs |
| Pulse matching | ±25ns - ensures symmetrical high/low output timing across temperature and load |
| UVLO thresholds | VCC: 6.8–7.8V - prevents erratic operation during brown-out conditions |
| Overcurrent trip | 200–300mV on CS - compatible with standard 5mΩ–20mΩ sense resistors |
Pinout & Package
IR2085STR is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012AA, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch), optimized for thermal dissipation and board-level noise immunity in high-frequency power stages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side logic supply input | Provides bias for internal logic and LO driver; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass |
| GND | Signal and power ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| Vb | High-side floating supply input | Connects to bootstrap capacitor positive; rated for up to +150V transient |
| VS | High-side floating supply return | Direct connection point to high-side MOSFET source; critical for noise-free level-shifting |
| HO | High-side gate drive output | 1A sink/source capable output; must route close to high-side MOSFET gate |
| LO | Low-side gate drive output | 1A sink/source capable output; referenced to GND; minimal trace inductance required |
| CS | Overcurrent sense input | Comparator input for cycle-by-cycle current limiting; threshold 200–300mV |
| OSC | Oscillator programming node | Connects external RT and CT; sets fOSC and dead-time simultaneously |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Self-oscillating architecture | Eliminates need for external clock generator or controller IC in isolated DC-bus converters |
| Integrated soft-start | Gradually increases output pulse width at power-up and after overcurrent fault recovery |
| Programmable dead-time | Set precisely via single CT capacitor-no separate dead-time resistor network required |
| Floating channel design | Enables direct bootstrap-based high-side drive without isolated gate supplies or transformers |
| Matched propagation delay | Ensures <±25ns skew between HO and LO edges across -40°C to +125°C operating range |
Applications
| Telecom 48V DC-Bus Converter | Industrial Half-Bridge SMPS |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side regulation in 48V input, 12V/24V output telecom power modules with strict size constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Self-oscillating half-bridge driver providing synchronized 50% duty cycle gate signals with programmable frequency and dead-time. Use Value: Reduces BOM count by eliminating external oscillator and dead-time generator; supports 500kHz operation for smaller magnetics. | Use Scenario: High-efficiency 36–75V input industrial DC-DC converter powering PLC I/O modules and sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Gate driver enabling bootstrap-based high-side switching with precise pulse matching and overcurrent fault response. Use Value: ±25ns pulse matching maintains ZVS/ZCS timing integrity; internal UVLO prevents startup under marginal input conditions. |
| Push-Pull DC-DC Converter | Redundant Power Supply Module |
Use Scenario: Input-unrestricted push-pull topology used in battery-backed backup systems with wide VIN range (24–75V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel gate driver delivering matched complementary outputs without transformer center-tap dependency. Use Value: Eliminates need for dual isolated drivers; CT/RT tuning allows consistent frequency scaling across input voltage variations. | Use Scenario: N+1 redundant 48V power shelf where reliability and fault containment are critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-aware driver initiating soft restart after current-limit event, preventing latch-up during hot-swap transitions. Use Value: Internal overcurrent shutdown with 200ns delay and automatic soft-start recovery improves system MTBF vs. latch-off alternatives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS2004STRPBF | Non-self-oscillating; requires external PWM input; no integrated oscillator or soft-start | Used in systems with existing controller ICs; lacks frequency/dead-time co-tuning | Select when precise external timing control is needed and oscillator integration is unnecessary |
| UCC27201D | 120V floating capability; no integrated oscillator or overcurrent protection; higher 4A drive strength | Targeted at high-speed GaN or SiC half-bridges requiring fast edge rates and robust drive | Select for >1MHz designs or when external protection and timing logic already exist |
Compared with IRS2004STRPBF and UCC27201D, the IR2085STR uniquely combines self-oscillation, internal soft-start, and CT-programmable dead-time in one SO-8 package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, component-count-constrained 48V DC-bus converters where simplicity and reliability outweigh ultra-high-frequency or ultra-high-current needs.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended VCC for reliable operation?
The IR2085STR specifies a typical UVLO turn-on threshold of 7.3V and recommends ≥9.5V for full specification compliance. Operation between 7.5V and 8.5V may cause asymmetrical HO/LO gate signals due to marginal internal bias margins, so 9.5V is advised for robust startup and steady-state performance.
How is dead-time adjusted, and what is its practical impact on layout?
Dead-time is set solely by the CT capacitor value (47–470pF), with lower CT yielding shorter dead-time. Layout impact is significant: CT and RT must be placed adjacent to the OSC pin with short, separated traces to VCC and GND to avoid noise coupling that could destabilize oscillator timing or dead-time accuracy.
Can the IR2085STR drive SiC or GaN MOSFETs?
The IR2085STR delivers ±1A peak current and supports ≤500kHz operation-sufficient for many 650V SiC MOSFETs with Qg < 20nC, but not ideal for high-speed GaN devices requiring faster edge rates or >1MHz switching. Its 40ns rise/20ns fall times and ±25ns pulse matching remain effective for SiC in telecom and industrial SMPS.
Does the IR2085STR require external bootstrap diode and capacitor?
Yes-Vb and VS pins are designed for external bootstrap operation: a low-leakage Schottky diode connects from VCC to Vb, and a ceramic capacitor (typically 0.1–1µF) connects from Vb to VS. These components must be placed physically adjacent to the IC to maintain high-side supply stability during fast switching.
