Product details

Overview

IR2136 from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-speed 3-phase bridge driver IC with three independent half-bridge gate drivers for N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs. It operates up to +600 V VS offset, features matched 400 ns/380 ns turn-on/turn-off propagation delays, 3.3 V logic compatibility, and integrated over-current shutdown via external ITRIP sense resistor - used in industrial motor inverters and servo drives.

For engineers reviewing the IR2136 datasheet, IR2136 pinout, IR2136 application, or IR2136 equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible floating channel operation, programmable fault-clear delay via RCIN, undervoltage lockout thresholds (8.9 V / 8.2 V), and cross-conduction prevention logic across all six outputs.

Technical Context

The IR2136 integrates proprietary HVIC technology for monolithic high-side level shifting, enabling robust operation at 600 V offset with dV/dt immunity. Its internal architecture includes independent input noise filters per channel, dominant-set latches for fault handling, and matched propagation delays across all six drivers to support synchronized PWM timing in high-frequency motor control.

Each half-bridge channel implements dead-time insertion and shoot-through prevention logic, with low-side outputs inverted relative to inputs and high-side outputs inverted (unlike IR21362). The FAULT pin provides open-drain indication of UV or over-current events, cleared automatically after RCIN-based timing.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
VS Offset Rating	+600 V - enables direct high-side drive of N-MOSFETs/IGBTs in 3-phase inverter legs without external level shifters
Propagation Delay (ton/toff)	400 ns / 380 ns typ. - ensures precise PWM edge alignment across all six outputs for reduced torque ripple
VCC Supply Range	10–20 V - supports wide-input industrial DC bus rails while maintaining stable logic and gate drive performance
Logic Compatibility	3.3 V CMOS/LSTTL - interfaces directly with modern microcontrollers and FPGA I/O without level translation
UVLO Thresholds	VCCUV+ = 8.9 V, VCCUV− = 8.2 V - prevents erratic switching during brown-out conditions with 0.7 V hysteresis
ITRIP Threshold	0.46 V - allows accurate current sensing using low-value, low-power shunt resistors (e.g., 5 mΩ @ 100 A)
RCIN Fault Clear Time	1.3–2.0 ms - externally programmable via R-C network to balance fault response speed vs. false-trigger immunity

Pinout & Package

Available in 28-lead PDIP, 28-lead SOIC, and 44-lead PLCC packages. Pin assignments are identical across variants; lead count and thermal performance differ per package type.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
VCC	Low-side and logic supply input	Provides power for internal logic, level shifters, and low-side drivers; must be decoupled locally
VSS	Logic ground reference	Common return for all logic inputs and internal circuitry; separate from power ground (COM)
COM	Power ground reference	Return path for low-side output currents and bootstrap capacitor discharge; ties to system power ground
HIN1–3	High-side input control	Inverted logic input controlling HO1–3; compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller PWM outputs
LIN1–3	Low-side input control	Inverted logic input controlling LO1–3; enables complementary PWM generation without external inverters
HO1–3	High-side gate driver output	Drives gates of high-side N-MOSFETs/IGBTs referenced to VS1–3; rated for +600 V offset
LO1–3	Low-side gate driver output	Drives gates of low-side N-MOSFETs/IGBTs referenced to COM; capable of 200 mA sink/source
VS1–3	High-side floating source monitor	Connects to source of each high-side switch; serves as local ground reference for corresponding HO output
VB1–3	High-side floating supply input	Accepts bootstrap-supplied voltage (e.g., 15 V) for high-side driver stage; must exceed VS by ≥10 V
ITRIP	Over-current sense input	Analog input monitoring shunt voltage; triggers simultaneous shutdown of all six outputs when >0.46 V
RCIN	Fault clear timing input	RC network sets automatic fault recovery delay; threshold is 8 V with 3 V hysteresis
EN	Global enable/disable input	Active-high signal that forces all outputs low when deasserted; overrides individual HIN/LIN states
FAULT	Open-drain fault indicator	Asserts low on UV or over-current; requires external pull-up; returns to high-Z after fault clear

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Floating channel with dV/dt immunity	Operates reliably at 50 V/ns slew rates on VS nodes, eliminating false triggering in noisy inverter environments
Matched propagation delay	≤75 ns max mismatch between any two channels ensures synchronous switching critical for vector control algorithms
Cross-conduction prevention logic	Hardware-enforced dead time and input filtering prevent shoot-through even under fast transient or glitch conditions
Externally programmable fault clear	RCIN pin allows tuning of recovery time from 1.3 ms to 2.0 ms to avoid nuisance tripping during startup surges
3.3 V logic interface	Eliminates need for level-shifting buffers when interfacing with ARM Cortex-M or RISC-V MCU GPIOs

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-phase gate driver applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
IR21362	High-side outputs in-phase with HIN inputs; higher VCC UVLO (10.4 V/9.4 V); 3.3 V logic compatible	Preferred where non-inverting high-side control simplifies PWM generation in microcontroller firmware	Select when in-phase high-side logic is required and higher UVLO margin is acceptable
IRS2330M	Integrated bootstrap diodes; lower quiescent current (IQCC = 1.2 mA); same 600 V rating and 3.3 V logic	Better suited for space-constrained designs needing fewer external components and lower standby power	Choose when board area reduction and ultra-low IQ are prioritized over programmable fault clear

Compared with IR21362 and IRS2330M, the IR2136 offers inverted high-side outputs and a programmable RCIN-based fault recovery mechanism - making it optimal for legacy motor control firmware and applications requiring configurable fault response timing.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pins of the IR2136?

The IR2136 is rated for 50 V/ns dV/dt on its VS1–3 pins, verified per absolute maximum ratings. This immunity is achieved through proprietary HVIC isolation and internal level-shifter design, allowing reliable operation in fast-switching IGBT or SiC-based inverters without external snubbers or desaturation detection circuits.

Can the IR2136 drive both MOSFETs and IGBTs in the same design?

Yes - the IR2136's 200 mA peak source/sink capability and 10–20 V VCC range support gate driving of both N-channel power MOSFETs and IGBTs. Its 600 V VS rating and matched propagation delays ensure consistent timing across device types, making it suitable for hybrid topologies or platform designs targeting multiple power switches.

How does the RCIN pin determine fault recovery timing?

The RCIN pin uses an internal comparator with 8 V threshold and 3 V hysteresis. An external RC network charges toward VCC; when voltage exceeds 8 V, the FAULT pin releases and outputs resume. With R = 2 MΩ and C = 1 nF, recovery occurs in 1.3–2.0 ms - adjustable by changing R or C values to match system fault-handling requirements.

Is there a recommended minimum pulse width for HIN inputs in high-side PWM operation?

Yes - the datasheet specifies a minimum HIN pulse width of 1 µs for reliable high-side PWM operation. This ensures sufficient time for internal level-shifting and latch settling, especially under worst-case temperature and supply conditions. Shorter pulses may result in incomplete turn-on or metastability in the HV level shifter.
