Product details
Overview
IR2136JPBF-INF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a high-voltage, high-speed 3-phase bridge driver IC with six independent gate drive outputs-three high-side and three low-side-designed for N-channel MOSFET/IGBT half-bridge configurations in motor control inverters. It operates up to +600 V VS offset, features 400 ns typical turn-on delay, 380 ns typical turn-off delay, and integrated overcurrent shutdown via external sense resistor. Used in industrial BLDC motor drives requiring robust bootstrap-based high-side gate driving.
For engineers reviewing the IR2136JPBF-INF datasheet, IR2136JPBF-INF pinout, IR2136JPBF-INF application, or IR2136JPBF-INF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V floating channel rating, 3.3 V logic compatibility, undervoltage lockout thresholds (UVCC+ = 8.9 V), programmable fault-clear delay via RCIN, and matched propagation delays across all six channels.
Technical Context
The IR2136JPBF-INF integrates three independent high- and low-side driver channels using HVIC monolithic technology, with each high-side output referenced to its own floating VS node. Its logic inputs accept CMOS/LSTTL levels down to 3.3 V, and internal shoot-through prevention logic ensures HOx and LOx per channel never activate simultaneously.
Overcurrent protection is implemented via an externally sensed voltage at ITRIP (VITRIP+ = 0.46 V), triggering automatic shutdown of all six outputs; fault recovery is timed by an external RC network on RCIN (tFLTCLR = 1.3–2 ms). Undervoltage lockout acts independently on VCC and each VBx supply, with UVCC+/− = 8.9 V / 8.2 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VS Offset Rating | +600 V - Enables direct high-side drive of N-MOSFETs in 3-phase inverter legs up to 600 V bus voltage. |
| ton / toff (typ.) | 400 ns / 380 ns - Supports PWM switching frequencies up to ~500 kHz with minimal timing skew across channels. |
| VITRIP+ | 0.46 V - Sets precise current-limit threshold using low-value, low-power external sense resistor (e.g., 5 mΩ @ 92 A). |
| UVCC+ / UVCC− | 8.9 V / 8.2 V - Provides 0.7 V hysteresis to prevent oscillation during marginal VCC supply conditions. |
| VIH / VIL (typ.) | 2.7 V / 1.7 V - Ensures reliable interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| tFLTCLR (RCIN) | 1.3–2 ms - Allows configurable auto-restart delay after overcurrent event, avoiding nuisance tripping during transient surges. |
| IO+ / IO− (pulsed) | 200 mA / 350 mA - Delivers sufficient peak gate current to rapidly charge/discharge MOSFET gates with <100 ns rise/fall times. |
Pinout & Package
IR2136JPBF-INF is housed in a 28-lead SOIC package with wide-body footprint (SOIC-28W), designed for high-voltage isolation and thermal reliability in motor drive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side and logic supply input | Provides 10–20 V power for internal logic and low-side drivers; monitored for UVLO. |
| VSS | Logic ground reference | Common return for all logic inputs and low-side outputs; isolated from power ground COM. |
| COM | Power ground reference | Return node for all low-side outputs (LO1–LO3); tied to system power ground. |
| HO1–HO3 | High-side gate drive outputs | Drive gates of high-side N-MOSFETs/IGBTs; each floats with its VSx node up to +600 V. |
| LO1–LO3 | Low-side gate drive outputs | Drive gates of low-side switches; referenced to COM; out-of-phase with HIN inputs. |
| HIN1–HIN3 | High-side input controls | CMOS/LSTTL-compatible inputs; HOx is out-of-phase with HINx (inverting mode). |
| LIN1–LIN3 | Low-side input controls | CMOS/LSTTL-compatible inputs; LOx is out-of-phase with LINx (inverting mode). |
| ITRIP | Overcurrent sense input | Analog input monitoring external shunt; trip threshold fixed at 0.46 V (typ.). |
| EN | Global enable/disable input | Active-high logic input; forces all six outputs low when disabled. |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low during UVLO or overcurrent; requires external pull-up; cleared automatically post-delay. |
| RCIN | Fault clear timing input | Accepts external RC network to set tFLTCLR; internal comparator triggers reset when >8 V. |
| VB1–VB3 | High-side floating supply inputs | Connect to bootstrap capacitors; each powers its respective high-side driver stage. |
| VS1–VS3 | High-side floating return nodes | Reference returns for VBx supplies; track phase-leg midpoints up to +600 V relative to COM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating channel architecture | Enables bootstrap-based high-side drive without isolated supplies; supports VS up to +600 V with dV/dt immunity up to 50 V/ns. |
| Matched propagation delay | Max 40 ns channel-to-channel delay mismatch ensures synchronous 3-phase PWM timing critical for torque ripple reduction. |
| Cross-conduction prevention logic | Hardware-enforced dead time (>220 ns typ.) prevents simultaneous HOx/LOx conduction, eliminating shoot-through risk. |
| Programmable fault auto-clear | RCIN pin allows precise tuning of recovery delay (1.3–2 ms) to distinguish between transient faults and hard shorts. |
| 3.3 V logic compatibility | VIH/VIL thresholds (2.7 V/1.7 V) guarantee interoperability with modern MCU GPIOs without level shifters. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR21362JPBF | Non-inverting high-side logic (HIN→HO), lower VIH (2.0 V), higher UVCC+ (10.4 V), same 600 V rating. | Better suited for systems where controller outputs match HO polarity directly; tighter UVLO margin improves noise immunity at low VCC. | Select when inverting logic adds unnecessary software inversion or when higher UVLO threshold aligns with system supply stability. |
| IRS2330JPbF | Integrated bootstrap diodes, lower ITRIP threshold (0.25 V), no RCIN programmability, same SOIC-28 package. | Reduces BOM count in space-constrained designs but lacks adjustable fault recovery; optimized for cost-sensitive consumer inverters. | Choose when bootstrap diode integration simplifies layout and fixed 500 µs fault blanking suffices for application. |
Compared with IR21362JPBF and IRS2330JPbF, the IR2136JPBF-INF offers superior timing precision (40 ns max delay mismatch), programmable fault recovery, and proven ruggedness in industrial motor drives-making it optimal for high-reliability, high-performance 3-phase inverter designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt at the VS pins?
The IR2136JPBF-INF is rated for up to 50 V/ns dV/dt on VS1–VS3 pins under SOIC-28 package conditions. This specification ensures reliable operation during fast-switching transients in 600 V bus applications without false triggering of internal level-shifters or latch-up.
Does the device require external bootstrap diodes?
Yes-IR2136JPBF-INF does not integrate bootstrap diodes. Each high-side channel (VB1–VB3) must be connected to a dedicated bootstrap capacitor and external fast-recovery diode (e.g., 1N4148WS or equivalent) to recharge the floating supply during low-side conduction.
How is the FAULT signal cleared after an overcurrent event?
FAULT is cleared automatically when the RCIN pin voltage exceeds 8 V (typ.), which occurs after the external RC network charges through an internal 50 kΩ pull-up. With R = 2 MΩ and C = 1 nF, clearance takes 1.3–2 ms-configurable by adjusting R or C values.
Can HIN and LIN inputs be driven with complementary PWM signals from a single controller timer?
Yes-HINx and LINx are independent inputs. When used with standard complementary PWM generation (e.g., STM32 TIM1 with dead-time insertion), the device's built-in shoot-through prevention logic enforces hardware-level dead time (>220 ns), adding redundancy to firmware-based timing control.
