Product details

Overview

IR2136J 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 and IGBTs. It features 600V floating channel operation, 400ns/380ns typical turn-on/turn-off propagation delay, 3.3V logic compatibility, and integrated over-current shutdown with RCIN-programmable fault-clear delay. It is used in motor inverters for industrial AC drives and servo systems.

For engineers reviewing the IR2136J datasheet, IR2136J pinout, IR2136J application, or IR2136J equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible high-side drive up to 600V, matched propagation delays across all six channels, undervoltage lockout thresholds (8.9V/8.2V), current-sense trip threshold (0.46V), and 28-lead PDIP package thermal resistance (83°C/W).

Technical Context

The IR2136J integrates proprietary HVIC technology for monolithic high-voltage isolation between low-side logic and floating high-side channels. Its level-shifted inputs support CMOS/LSTTL logic down to 3.3V, while internal shoot-through prevention logic enforces deadtime between complementary HO/LO outputs per channel.

Each high-side driver uses a self-contained floating supply (VBx–VSx) referenced to its respective phase node, enabling operation with VS offset up to +600V relative to COM. The ITRIP input accepts a voltage from an external sense resistor to trigger simultaneous shutdown of all six outputs, with fault recovery controlled by an externally set RCIN time constant (1.3–2 ms typical).

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Max VS offset	+600 V - enables direct high-side drive in 400–600V DC bus motor inverters
Propagation delay (ton/toff)	400 ns / 380 ns typ - ensures synchronized PWM timing across all three phases at >100 kHz switching
VCC UVLO threshold	8.9 V (rising), 8.2 V (falling) - prevents erratic output behavior during brown-out conditions
ITRIP threshold	0.46 V - sets over-current trip point for 10 mΩ shunt at 46 A peak
Logic supply range	10–20 V - supports wide-input auxiliary supplies without external regulation
Package thermal resistance	83 °C/W (PDIP) - defines maximum continuous power dissipation (1.5 W) at TA ≤ 25°C
Input logic compatibility	3.3 V CMOS/LSTTL - allows direct interface with modern microcontrollers and FPGA I/O

Pinout & Package

IR2136J is housed in a 28-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) with 0.6-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pin numbering proceeds counter-clockwise from the notch.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
VCC	Low-side and logic supply input	Provides power for internal logic, level shifters, and low-side drivers (10–20 V)
VSS	Logic ground reference	Common return for all digital inputs and low-side outputs; must be tied to system logic ground
COM	Power ground reference	Return path for LO1–LO3 outputs and current-sense circuitry; connects to main power ground
HIN1–HIN3	High-side input control	Inverted logic inputs (active-high) controlling HO1–HO3; 3.3V compatible
LIN1–LIN3	Low-side input control	Inverted logic inputs (active-high) controlling LO1–LO3; 3.3V compatible
HO1–HO3	High-side gate drive outputs	Floating outputs referenced to VS1–VS3; drive external N-channel devices in high-side configuration
LO1–LO3	Low-side gate drive outputs	Ground-referenced outputs driving N-channel devices on low side of each half-bridge
VS1–VS3	High-side floating supply return	Phase-node references for VB1–VB3; withstands −5 V to +600 V transients relative to COM
VB1–VB3	High-side floating supply inputs	Bootstrap-supply inputs for high-side drivers; each requires external capacitor to VSx
ITRIP	Over-current sense input	Analog input monitoring shunt voltage; trips all outputs when ≥0.46 V
RCIN	Fault clear timing input	RC network sets automatic fault recovery delay (1.3–2 ms); open-drain FAULT clears when RCIN >8 V
EN	Global enable input	Active-high input disabling all six outputs simultaneously; hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold
FAULT	Open-drain fault indicator	Signals UVLO or over-current event; pulled low during fault; high-impedance otherwise

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Floating channel architecture	Enables high-side drive up to +600 V VS offset without external level-shifting components
Matched propagation delay	≤75 ns max mismatch across all six channels ensures precise phase alignment in 3-phase PWM
Cross-conduction prevention logic	Hardware-enforced deadtime (220–360 ns) eliminates shoot-through risk in half-bridge legs
Externally programmable fault recovery	RCIN pin allows user-defined auto-clear delay (1.3–2 ms) after over-current events
3.3V logic interface	Direct connection to low-voltage MCUs/FPGAs without level translators or pull-up resistors

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
IR21362J	Higher VCC UVLO (10.4 V rising), in-phase high-side outputs, same 400/380 ns delay	Preferred where high-side PWM polarity must match input logic (e.g., legacy MCU firmware)	Select when system requires non-inverted HO outputs and higher supply immunity
IR21363J	12–20 V VCC range, 11.2 V/11.0 V UVLO, same propagation delay and ITRIP threshold	Better suited for 12 V auxiliary rail designs with tighter supply regulation margins	Choose for new designs using regulated 12 V logic supply and requiring enhanced UVLO hysteresis

Compared with IR21362J and IR21363J, the IR2136J offers the lowest VCC UVLO threshold (8.9 V), making it optimal for unregulated 10–12 V supplies in cost-sensitive industrial inverters, while retaining identical timing performance and fault-handling architecture.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pins of the IR2136J?

The IR2136J is rated for 50 V/ns dV/dt on VS pins, confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings. This immunity prevents false triggering during fast-switching transients in IGBT-based inverters. The internal level-shifter design incorporates dedicated dV/dt rejection circuitry, allowing reliable operation even with steep phase-leg voltage edges common in SiC or fast IGBT modules.

Can the IR2136J drive both MOSFETs and IGBTs interchangeably?

Yes - the IR2136J is explicitly designed for both N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs, as stated in its description and supported by its 200 mA source / 350 mA sink peak output current. Its 10–20 V gate drive range accommodates standard MOSFET VGS requirements and IGBT VGE needs, while the 600 V VS rating covers typical 600 V-class devices used in industrial motor drives.

How does the RCIN pin determine fault-clear timing?

The RCIN pin sets automatic fault recovery time via an external RC network: t_FLTCLR ≈ 1.65 × R × C (with R in MΩ, C in nF). When FAULT is asserted, RCIN charges through the internal current source; once voltage exceeds 8 V, the latch resets and outputs resume. Typical values (R = 2 MΩ, C = 1 nF) yield 1.65 ms delay, preventing nuisance tripping during transient overloads.

Is the IR2136J pin-compatible with other variants like IR21362J or IR21363J?

Yes - all IR2136x variants share identical 28-pin PDIP pinout, including IR2136J, IR21362J, and IR21363J. Signal assignments, power pins, and fault signaling are fully aligned. Differences are internal (UVLO thresholds, ITRIP levels, output phase relationship), so PCB layout and interconnect remain unchanged across the family.
