Product details
Overview
IR21014 from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-speed dual-channel gate driver IC for N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs, featuring independent high-side (HO) and low-side (LO) outputs with 600 V offset capability, 130 mA/270 mA peak output current, 160 ns/150 ns typical propagation delay, and 5 V Schmitt-triggered logic inputs. It enables half-bridge topologies in motor drives and inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IR21014 datasheet, IR21014 pinout, IR21014 application, or IR21014 equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible floating channel operation up to +600 V, matched propagation delays (<50 ns), undervoltage lockout thresholds (8.2–9.8 V on VCC), and SOIC-14 package compatibility with industrial power stage designs.
Technical Context
The IR21014 integrates a high-voltage level shifter and latch-immune CMOS logic to drive high-side N-channel devices referenced to a floating VS node. Its HVIC process supports dV/dt immunity up to 50 V/ns and sustained VS offset of −5 V to +600 V while maintaining logic state integrity.
Both channels operate with in-phase input-to-output polarity (HIN→HO, LIN→LO), unlike the IR21024's out-of-phase configuration. The internal UV detection circuit monitors VCC only, with hysteresis of ~0.8 V between turn-on and turn-off thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOFFSET max | 600 V - supports high-side switching in 400 V DC bus systems like solar inverters |
| IO+ / IO− | 130 mA / 270 mA - sufficient to charge/discharge 1 nF gate capacitance in <100 ns |
| ton / toff (typ.) | 160 ns / 150 ns - enables >3 MHz PWM operation with minimal dead-time uncertainty |
| Delay matching | ≤50 ns - ensures symmetrical timing across HO/LO for precise half-bridge control |
| VCC range | 10–20 V - compatible with standard 12 V or 15 V gate drive rails |
| Input logic | 5 V Schmitt-trigger - rejects noise on HIN/LIN lines in electrically noisy motor control environments |
| VCC UV threshold | 8.2 V (falling), 8.9 V (rising) - prevents erratic switching during brown-out conditions |
Pinout & Package
IR21014 is housed in a 14-lead SOIC (narrow body) package with creepage and clearance suitable for reinforced insulation in industrial 600 V systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Low-side and logic supply rail | Provides power to internal logic and LO driver; must be decoupled near pin |
| 2 (HIN) | High-side logic input | In-phase control signal for HO; 5 V tolerant with Schmitt trigger for noise immunity |
| 3 (LIN) | Low-side logic input | In-phase control signal for LO; identical electrical specs to HIN |
| 4 (COM) | Low-side reference return | Ground reference for VCC, LIN, and LO; must connect to system power ground |
| 5 (LO) | Low-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET/IGBT source-connected to COM; rated 270 mA sink |
| 6 (VB) | High-side floating supply | Bootstrap capacitor connection point; supplies HO driver stage referenced to VS |
| 7 (HO) | High-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET/IGBT source-connected to VS; rated 130 mA source |
| 8 (VS) | High-side floating return | Reference node for VB and HO; swings from −5 V to +600 V relative to COM |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating channel architecture | Enables high-side drive without isolated supplies via bootstrap, reducing BOM cost and board area |
| dV/dt immune level shifting | Withstands 50 V/ns transients on VS node-critical for fast-switching SiC/GaN half-bridges |
| Matched propagation delays | ≤50 ns difference between HO and LO paths minimizes shoot-through risk in synchronous rectification |
| Independent UVLO on VCC | Prevents partial drive activation during power-up/down, avoiding MOSFET linear-mode stress |
| CMOS/LSTTL-compatible inputs | Direct interface with microcontrollers, FPGAs, or PWM controllers without level-shifting circuitry |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side/low-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2104S | SOIC-8 package, no VS pin; integrated bootstrap diode; lower 500 V offset rating | Targeted at lower-voltage (<400 V) half-bridges where space is constrained | Select when board area is critical and 600 V margin is unnecessary |
| IRS21844PbF | SOIC-14, 600 V rating, but out-of-phase logic (HIN→HO inverted); higher 2.5 A peak output | Requires complementary PWM generation; suited for resonant LLC or synchronous buck converters | Choose when inverting logic is acceptable and higher drive strength is needed |
Compared with IR2104S and IRS21844PbF, the IR21014 uniquely balances 600 V capability, in-phase logic, SOIC-14 pinout, and moderate drive strength-making it optimal for industrial motor drives requiring layout simplicity and voltage headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pin?
The IR21014 is rated for up to 50 V/ns on the VS node under recommended operating conditions. This dV/dt immunity is achieved through proprietary level-shifting circuitry and is validated per the datasheet test condition with VB = VS = 600 V. Exceeding this rate may cause false triggering or temporary loss of high-side output.
Can IR21014 drive SiC MOSFETs?
Yes-the IR21014 can drive SiC MOSFETs provided gate resistor values are selected to limit peak current within its 130 mA source / 270 mA sink capability and that the device's 600 V offset rating exceeds the application's maximum VS swing. Layout must minimize parasitic inductance on HO/VS paths to preserve dV/dt immunity.
Is there an internal bootstrap diode in IR21014?
No-the IR21014 does not integrate a bootstrap diode. An external fast-recovery diode (e.g., 1N4148 or equivalent) must be placed between VCC and VB to charge the bootstrap capacitor during low-side conduction. This differs from IR2104S, which includes an internal diode.
How does IR21014 handle negative VS excursions?
The IR21014 maintains logic functionality for VS down to −5 V relative to COM, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions. Below −5 V, the high-side driver is disabled, but the low-side channel (LO) remains fully operational since it references COM and VCC.
