Product details
Overview
IR2136JPBF 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 supports floating operation up to +600V, features matched propagation delay (400ns/380ns), undervoltage lockout (8.9V/8.2V), and over-current shutdown via external sense resistor - used in industrial motor inverters and HVAC compressor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IR2136JPBF datasheet, IR2136JPBF pinout, IR2136JPBF application, or IR2136JPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include bootstrap-compatible high-side drive, 3.3V logic compatibility, programmable fault-clear delay, and cross-conduction prevention logic for reliable 3-phase PWM control.
Technical Context
The IR2136JPBF integrates proprietary HVIC technology for monolithic high-voltage isolation between low-side logic and floating high-side channels. Its level-shifted inputs tolerate VS transients down to –5V and up to +600V relative to COM, with dV/dt immunity up to 50 V/ns.
Each channel includes independent dead-time insertion (220–360 ns), shoot-through prevention logic, and matched turn-on/turn-off propagation delays. The FAULT pin provides open-drain indication of UVLO or over-current events, cleared automatically via RCIN-programmed timing (1.3–2 ms).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max VS offset voltage | +600 V - enables direct high-side drive in 600V-class motor inverters without external level shifters |
| Propagation delay (ton/toff) | 400 ns / 380 ns typ - ensures precise timing alignment across all six outputs for >100 kHz PWM switching |
| VCC supply range | 10–20 V - compatible with standard 12V/15V system rails and supports brown-out resilience |
| Logic input threshold (VIH/VIL) | 2.7 V / 1.7 V - guarantees robust 3.3V CMOS/LSTTL interface without level translation |
| ITRIP threshold voltage | 0.46 V typ - allows use of low-value, high-precision current-sense resistors (e.g., 5–10 mΩ) for accurate phase-current monitoring |
| UVLO thresholds (VCC+ / VCC−) | 8.9 V / 8.2 V - provides 0.7 V hysteresis to prevent oscillation during supply ramp-up or dip |
| Output drive current (IO+/IO−) | 200 mA / 350 mA pulsed - sufficient to charge/discharge 1000 pF gate loads within 125 ns rise/50 ns fall times |
Pinout & Package
IR2136JPBF is housed in a 28-lead PDIP package with through-hole mounting and 0.6-inch width. Pin assignments are validated per Infineon PD60166 revS datasheet and support full 3-phase gate drive with dedicated bootstrap, fault reporting, and current-sense interfaces.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side and logic supply rail | Provides power to internal logic, level shifters, and low-side drivers; must be decoupled near pin |
| VSS | Logic ground reference | Common return for all digital inputs and internal biasing; separate from power ground (COM) |
| COM | Power ground reference | Return path for low-side outputs (LO1–LO3); tied to system power ground |
| HIN1–HIN3 | High-side PWM inputs | Inverted output polarity (per IR2136 family) - active-high input produces active-low HO output |
| LIN1–LIN3 | Low-side PWM inputs | Inverted output polarity - active-high input produces active-low LO output |
| HO1–HO3 | High-side gate drive outputs | Floating outputs referenced to VS1–VS3; drive gates of high-side N-MOSFETs/IGBTs in bootstrap configuration |
| LO1–LO3 | Low-side gate drive outputs | Ground-referenced outputs; sink/source capability enables direct connection to low-side device gates |
| VS1–VS3 | High-side floating source monitors | Provide local return references for HO1–HO3; connect to respective phase-leg source nodes |
| VB1–VB3 | High-side floating supply inputs | Accept bootstrap capacitor voltage (VSx + 10–20 V); enable high-side drive up to 600 V offset |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled low on UVLO or over-current; requires external pull-up; signals latched fault condition |
| ITRIP | Over-current sense input | Compares against 0.46 V threshold; connects to shunt-resistor voltage drop for cycle-by-cycle protection |
| RCIN | External fault-clear timing input | RC network (R=2 MΩ, C=1 nF) sets automatic recovery delay (~1.65 ms) after fault event |
| EN | Global enable/disable input | Active-high; forces all six outputs low when deasserted; overrides individual HIN/LIN commands |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Matched propagation delay across all channels | ≤75 ns max mismatch ensures synchronized switching in high-frequency 3-phase inverters, minimizing torque ripple |
| Cross-conduction prevention logic | Hardware-enforced dead time (220–360 ns) prevents simultaneous HO/LO conduction in same leg, eliminating shoot-through risk |
| Programmable automatic fault clear | RCIN pin accepts external RC network to set fixed recovery delay (1.3–2 ms), enabling self-resetting over-current protection |
| 3.3V logic compatible inputs | VIH = 2.7 V min / VIL = 1.7 V max allows direct interface with modern microcontrollers and DSPs without level-shifting circuitry |
| dV/dt immune floating channel | Withstands 50 V/ns transient slew rates on VS pins, ensuring reliable operation during fast-switching transitions in noisy motor drives |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR21362PBF | VCC UVLO thresholds higher (10.4V/9.4V); HIN/LIN outputs in-phase with inputs | Better suited for designs requiring non-inverting logic interface and tighter supply regulation margin | Select when system uses 12V-regulated VCC and requires direct HIN→HO mapping without external inversion |
| IR21363PBF | VCC UVLO thresholds higher (11.2V/11.0V); identical inverted output polarity and timing specs | Optimized for 12V–15V supply rails with enhanced noise immunity in EMI-heavy environments | Choose for new designs targeting improved supply rejection and compatibility with 12V auxiliary supplies |
Compared with IR2136JPBF, IR21362PBF offers in-phase logic but raises minimum VCC requirement, while IR21363PBF maintains identical functionality with higher UVLO thresholds - both require layout review for VB/VS routing due to shared thermal pad constraints in SOIC packages.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pins of IR2136JPBF?
The IR2136JPBF is rated for dV/dt immunity up to 50 V/ns on its VS1–VS3 pins, verified under conditions per Infineon PD60166 revS. This specification ensures reliable level-shifter operation during fast-switching transients in 600V motor drives without false triggering or latch-up.
Can IR2136JPBF drive both MOSFETs and IGBTs?
Yes - the IR2136JPBF is explicitly designed to drive N-channel power MOSFETs and IGBTs in 3-phase bridge configurations. Its 200 mA/350 mA pulsed output current and 125 ns/50 ns rise/fall times meet gate drive requirements for devices up to 50 A/600 V, as confirmed in Infineon application notes AN-978 and DT97-3.
How does the FAULT pin behave during an over-current event?
Upon over-current detection (ITRIP > 0.46 V), the FAULT pin transitions low and remains latched until either VCC recovers above 8.9 V or the RCIN network discharges and recharges past 8 V, initiating automatic clear after ~1.65 ms. No external reset is required if RCIN is configured.
Is IR2136JPBF pin-compatible with other variants like IR21362PBF?
No - while IR2136JPBF and IR21362PBF share identical pinout in PDIP/SOIC packages, their logic polarity differs: IR2136JPBF inverts HIN/LIN inputs (HIN high → HO low), whereas IR21362PBF provides non-inverting outputs. PCB layout reuse requires firmware or external inverter adjustment.
