Product details
Overview
IR21091STRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-speed half-bridge gate driver IC designed to control N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in high-side and low-side configurations up to +600 V. It features matched 680 ns / 170 ns propagation delays, internal 500 ns dead time (programmable up to 5 µs), 120 mA/250 mA peak output drive capability, and 3.3V/5V/15V logic-compatible inputs. It is used in motor control inverters and DC-DC resonant converters.
For engineers reviewing the IR21091STRPBF datasheet, IR21091STRPBF pinout, IR21091STRPBF application, or IR21091STRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include floating channel dV/dt immunity, bootstrap-compatible high-side operation, cross-conduction prevention logic, undervoltage lockout on both channels, and programmable dead-time via external resistor.
Technical Context
The IR21091STRPBF integrates a high-voltage level shifter and latch-immune CMOS logic to enable reliable high-side gate driving with VS offset from –5 V to +600 V. Its dual-channel architecture uses independent UVLO thresholds (8.9 V typical) for VCC and VB supplies, and includes pulse filtering to suppress false triggering during fast transients.
It implements cross-conduction prevention via built-in logic that enforces minimum dead time between LO turn-off and HO turn-on (400–680 ns), and supports shutdown via the DT/SD pin with 215–615 ns propagation delay. The HO output is in-phase with IN, while LO is inverted - enabling synchronous buck or half-bridge topologies without external inversion logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max VOFFSET | 600 V - enables direct high-side switching in 400 V AC line-connected systems |
| IO+/IO− | 120 mA / 250 mA - sufficient to drive 1 nF gate capacitance with <100 ns rise/fall times |
| tON/tOFF (typ) | 680 ns / 170 ns - ensures precise timing alignment for PWM frequencies up to 500 kHz |
| Dead time (internal) | 500 ns - prevents shoot-through in half-bridge power stages without external timing components |
| VIN logic compatibility | 3.3 V / 5 V / 15 V - interfaces directly with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and analog comparators |
| dV/dt immunity | 50 V/ns - maintains stable operation during fast voltage transitions across parasitic impedances |
| UVLO threshold (VCC/VB) | 8.9 V (typ) - avoids erratic switching during brown-out conditions in 12 V or 15 V supply rails |
Pinout & Package
IR21091STRPBF is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012AA), with gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: VCC | Low-side and logic supply input | Fixed 10–20 V rail powering internal logic and LO driver stage |
| 2: IN | Logic input for both channels | Single-pin control: HO follows IN; LO is inverted relative to IN |
| 3: DT/SD | Programmable dead-time and shutdown input | Pull to VCC disables both outputs; resistor-to-ground sets dead time (0–5 µs) |
| 4: COM | Low-side return reference | Common ground for VCC, IN, DT/SD, and LO output |
| 5: VB | High-side floating supply input | Connects to bootstrap capacitor positive terminal; referenced to VS |
| 6: HO | High-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET/IGBT gate referenced to VS; in-phase with IN |
| 7: VS | High-side floating supply return | Switch node connection; defines floating reference for HO and VB |
| 8: LO | Low-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET/IGBT gate referenced to COM; inverted relative to IN |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2104STRPBF | Lacks programmable dead-time; fixed 500 ns only; no DT/SD pin; lower 200 mA IO− | Not suitable where adjustable dead time or hardware shutdown is required | Select when cost-sensitive designs accept fixed timing and omit shutdown functionality |
| IRS21844STRPBF | Higher 620 mA IO−; integrated bootstrap diode; 100 ns faster tOFF; no DT/SD pin | Better suited for high-frequency (>1 MHz) resonant topologies requiring faster switching | Select when higher current drive and faster turn-off are critical, and dead-time adjustment is handled externally |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt at the VS pin?
The IR21091STRPBF is rated for 50 V/ns dV/dt at the VS pin under all operating conditions. This specification ensures reliable level-shifting operation even during fast-switching events in hard-switched or resonant topologies. Exceeding this rate may cause false triggering or temporary loss of high-side output, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (dVS/dt = 50 V/ns).
Can the DT/SD pin be left unconnected?
No - the DT/SD pin must not be left floating. If programmable dead time is not required, it must be tied to VSS/COM through a pull-down resistor (typically 10 kΩ) to ensure default 500 ns dead time and enable normal operation. Leaving it open risks undefined logic states, potential shoot-through, or intermittent shutdown due to noise coupling.
Is a bootstrap diode required externally?
Yes - the IR21091STRPBF does not integrate a bootstrap diode. An external ultrafast recovery diode (e.g., 1N4148W or equivalent) must be placed between VCC and VB to charge the bootstrap capacitor during LO conduction. The diode must support ≥20 V reverse voltage and ≤25 ns reverse recovery time to avoid cross-conduction during high-frequency operation.
What is the recommended minimum bootstrap capacitor value?
A minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended between VB and VS, with X7R dielectric and 25 V rating. For 20 kHz–100 kHz operation with 1 A gate charge loads, 0.22 µF is preferred to limit voltage droop below the 8.9 V UVLO threshold. Larger values improve stability but increase startup time and reduce available dead-time resolution.
