Product details
Overview
IR21074S from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-speed MOSFET and IGBT gate driver IC for half-bridge configurations. It integrates bootstrap-based high-side driving, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both channels, and matched propagation delays (typ. 220 ns). Designed for motor control inverters and SMPS, it drives N-channel power devices in 600 V systems with 100 V/ns common-mode dv/dt immunity.
For engineers reviewing the IR21074S datasheet, IR21074S pinout, IR21074S application, or IR21074S equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V high-side floating supply capability, independent input logic (IN+ and IN−), thermal shutdown protection, and SOIC-14 package compatibility with industrial motor drive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The IR21074S employs a level-shifted high-side driver architecture with internal diode-clamped bootstrap circuitry, enabling operation without external high-voltage level-shifting components. Its dual-channel output supports complementary PWM inputs with built-in dead-time insertion logic to prevent shoot-through.
It features separate UVLO thresholds: 10.1 V (rising) / 8.8 V (falling) for the low-side and 9.2 V (rising) / 7.8 V (falling) for the high-side, ensuring robust turn-on/turn-off sequencing under varying supply conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Output Voltage | 600 V - Enables direct driving of high-voltage N-channel MOSFETs/IGBTs in half-bridge topologies up to 600 V bus rails. |
| Propagation Delay | 220 ns (typ.) - Ensures precise timing alignment between high- and low-side outputs for accurate PWM edge control. |
| dv/dt Immunity | 100 V/ns - Maintains reliable high-side operation during fast switching transients in noisy inverter environments. |
| Output Current | ±2.5 A peak - Sufficient to charge/discharge gate capacitance of medium-power MOSFETs (e.g., 10–50 nC Qg) at >20 kHz switching frequencies. |
| UVLO Thresholds | HS: 9.2 V↑ / 7.8 V↓; LS: 10.1 V↑ / 8.8 V↓ - Prevents partial turn-on during brown-out and ensures coordinated channel enable/disable sequencing. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - Supports deployment in industrial motor drives and outdoor-rated power converters without derating. |
Pinout & Package
IR21074S is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package with wide-body (SOIC-14WB) footprint and creepage-enhanced isolation. The package supports surface-mount assembly and meets IPC-7351B standard land patterns.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side supply input | Provides power for logic and low-side driver stage; requires 10–20 V regulated supply. |
| COM | Low-side return path | Common reference for low-side output and logic ground; must be connected directly to power ground plane. |
| HO | High-side output | Drives gate of high-side N-channel device; floats with VS node and requires bootstrap capacitor coupling. |
| VS | High-side source reference | Connects to switching node between high- and low-side devices; serves as return for HO output stage. |
| LO | Low-side output | Directly drives gate of low-side N-channel device; referenced to COM. |
| VDD | Logic supply input | Separate 3.3 V or 5 V supply for input logic interface; decoupled from VCC for noise immunity. |
| IN+ | Non-inverting input | Accepts PWM or logic-level signal to enable high-side output when IN− is low. |
| IN− | Inverting input | Complementary input; enables low-side output when IN+ is low, supporting differential input control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent inputs (IN+, IN−) | Enables flexible control modes-complementary, single-ended, or enable-gated-without external logic gates. |
| Bootstrap-compatible high-side driver | Eliminates need for isolated supplies or pulse transformers in half-bridge applications up to 600 V. |
| Matched propagation delay | 220 ns ±10 ns matching ensures <20 ns skew between HO and LO edges, critical for minimizing dead-time uncertainty. |
| Integrated UVLO with hysteresis | Prevents erratic switching during power-up/down by disabling outputs until both VCC and bootstrap voltage exceed thresholds. |
| 100 V/ns common-mode dv/dt immunity | Maintains correct high-side output state even during rapid phase-leg voltage transitions in motor drive inverters. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Brushless DC (BLDC) Inverters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR21064S | Lacks independent IN+/IN− inputs; uses single IN with internal inverter for LO; no VDD logic supply pin. | Suitable only for simple complementary PWM where microcontroller provides inverted signal; less flexible for enable-gated or fault-handling schemes. | Select IR21064S only if board space is constrained and control logic already generates complementary signals. |
| IRS21844SPbF | Higher peak output current (±2.6 A); includes built-in bootstrap diode; same SOIC-14 package but different pinout (e.g., VSS instead of COM). | Requires PCB layout revision due to pin reassignment; better suited for high-Qg MOSFETs requiring faster gate charging. | Choose IRS21844SPbF when upgrading gate drive strength without changing topology, but verify layout compatibility first. |
Compared with IR21064S, the IR21074S offers greater control flexibility via dual inputs and dedicated logic supply; versus IRS21844SPbF, it trades minor current gain for pinout compatibility and simpler bootstrap implementation in legacy designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum bootstrap capacitor value required for reliable IR21074S operation at 100 kHz?
A 100 nF ceramic capacitor with X7R dielectric and ≤100 mΩ ESR is recommended for 100 kHz operation with 2 A peak gate current. This ensures sufficient charge replenishment during high-duty-cycle conditions while maintaining <1 V ripple on the VB node. Larger values (e.g., 220 nF) improve margin under temperature extremes but increase PCB area and cost.
Can IR21074S drive SiC MOSFETs directly?
Yes, IR21074S can drive discrete SiC MOSFETs with gate threshold voltages ≥2.5 V and total gate charge ≤45 nC, provided gate resistor values are selected to limit dV/dt to <50 V/ns and maintain safe SOA during turn-on. Its 600 V rating and 100 V/ns dv/dt immunity make it compatible with 650 V SiC devices in hard-switched topologies.
Does IR21074S include internal shoot-through protection?
No, IR21074S does not integrate hardware shoot-through prevention logic. It relies on externally generated complementary PWM signals with dead time inserted by the controller. However, its matched propagation delay (220 ns) and independent IN+/IN− inputs simplify dead-time implementation and reduce timing uncertainty that could lead to overlap.
Is a separate logic supply (VDD) mandatory for IR21074S operation?
Yes, VDD must be supplied with a clean 3.3 V or 5 V source independent of VCC. This powers the input comparators and logic circuitry, isolating noise-sensitive control signals from the higher-noise power supply rail. Omitting VDD or tying it to VCC causes undefined input behavior and potential latch-up under transient conditions.
