Product details

Overview

IR2136PBF 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 up to +600V floating operation, features matched 400ns/380ns turn-on/turn-off propagation delays, 3.3V logic compatibility, and integrated over-current shutdown with externally programmable fault-clear delay via RCIN. Used in industrial motor inverters driving BLDC or PMSM motors.

For engineers reviewing the IR2136PBF datasheet, IR2136PBF pinout, IR2136PBF application, or IR2136PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible high-side drive capability, 600V VS offset rating, undervoltage lockout thresholds (8.9V/8.2V), current-trip threshold (0.46V), and phase relationship (high-side outputs out of phase with inputs).

Technical Context

The IR2136PBF integrates proprietary HVIC technology for monolithic high-voltage isolation between logic and power domains. Its floating channel architecture enables direct control of high-side N-channel devices in 3-phase topologies without external level shifters, with dV/dt immunity up to 50 V/ns.

Each of the six output channels (HO1–HO3, LO1–LO3) includes dedicated UV detection, cross-conduction prevention logic, and matched propagation delays. The FAULT pin provides open-drain indication of over-current or supply undervoltage events, with automatic recovery timed by an external RC network on RCIN.

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-shifting circuitry.
Propagation delay (ton/toff)	400 ns / 380 ns - Matched timing across all six channels simplifies PWM synchronization in high-frequency (>20 kHz) motor control.
VCC supply range	10–20 V - Supports standard 12V/15V gate driver supplies; UVLO thresholds at 8.9V (rising) and 8.2V (falling) prevent erratic switching during brownout.
ITRIP threshold	0.46 V - Low-sense voltage compatible with mΩ-range shunt resistors for precise over-current protection in 3-phase current loops.
Logic input compatibility	3.3V CMOS/LSTTL - Interfaces directly with modern microcontrollers and DSPs without level translation.
Output drive strength	200 mA (source), 350 mA (sink) - Sufficient peak current to charge/discharge typical 1–3 nF gate capacitances within required dead-time windows.
Dead time	220–360 ns - Hardware-enforced minimum off-time prevents shoot-through in complementary half-bridge switching.

Pinout & Package

IR2136PBF is supplied in a 28-lead PDIP package with through-hole mounting and industry-standard thermal profile (R_thJA = 83°C/W). Pin assignments are validated per Infineon PD60166 revS datasheet.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
VCC	Low-side and logic supply	10–20V fixed supply powering internal logic, level shifters, and low-side drivers; referenced to VSS.
VSS	Logic ground	Reference node for all digital inputs (HIN/LIN/EN/RCIN/ITRIP); must be connected to system logic ground.
COM	Power ground	Return path for low-side outputs (LO1–LO3); tied to inverter leg source nodes and shunt resistor ground.
HIN1–HIN3	High-side input	Inverted logic inputs controlling HO1–HO3; active-high signals produce low-side-complementary high-side outputs.
LIN1–LIN3	Low-side input	Direct logic inputs controlling LO1–LO3; active-high signals produce active-high low-side outputs.
HO1–HO3	High-side gate output	Floating outputs referenced to VS1–VS3; drive gates of high-side N-MOSFETs/IGBTs in bootstrap configuration.
LO1–LO3	Low-side gate output	Ground-referenced outputs driving low-side device gates; out-of-phase with respective LIN inputs.
VS1–VS3	High-side floating return	Source/negative terminals of high-side power devices; serve as local references for HOx outputs and level shifters.
VB1–VB3	High-side bootstrap supply	Connections for bootstrap capacitors; each charges during low-side conduction to sustain high-side drive above VS.
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 connection point; sets automatic fault recovery delay (1.3–2 ms typical) after ITRIP clears.
EN	Global enable	Active-high input disabling all outputs when low; overrides HIN/LIN states and resets fault latch.
FAULT	Open-drain fault indicator	Active-low signal pulled low during UV or over-current events; high-impedance when no fault is present.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Floating channel with dV/dt immunity	Withstands 50 V/ns transient slew rates on VS pins, eliminating false triggering in noisy high-power inverter environments.
Matched propagation delay	≤75 ns max mismatch across all six channels ensures consistent PWM edge alignment critical for vector control accuracy.
Cross-conduction prevention logic	Hardware-dead-time insertion and shoot-through blocking prevent simultaneous HO/LO activation per channel, even under timing skew.
Externally programmable fault recovery	RCIN pin allows precise tuning of auto-clear delay (1.3–2 ms) to match system-level fault response requirements.
3.3V logic interface	Direct compatibility with ARM Cortex-M, TI C2000, and ST STM32 microcontrollers eliminates need for external level translators.

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	Higher VCC UVLO thresholds (10.4V/9.4V), in-phase high-side outputs, same 400ns/380ns delays.	Suitable where high-side PWM polarity must match low-side (e.g., certain transformer-isolated gate drive topologies).	Select when system requires non-inverted HOx outputs and operates with higher VCC stability margins.
IR21363PBF	12–20V VCC range, 11.2V/11.0V UVLO, identical timing and topology but optimized for 15V nominal supplies.	Better suited for designs using regulated 15V auxiliary rails and requiring tighter UVLO hysteresis (0.2V).	Prefer for new 15V-powered inverter designs where supply regulation is tight and noise immunity is prioritized.

Compared with IR2136PBF, IR21362PBF offers in-phase high-side outputs and higher UVLO thresholds for improved brownout resilience, while IR21363PBF provides tighter 15V-centric UVLO hysteresis-both retain identical timing, fault architecture, and 600V capability but differ in supply sensitivity and output polarity behavior.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pins of IR2136PBF?

The IR2136PBF is rated for 50 V/ns dV/dt on its VS1–VS3 pins, verified per Infineon PD60166 revS test conditions. This immunity ensures reliable operation during fast-switching transients in 600V IGBT inverters without false level-shifter triggering or unintended output transitions.

How does the ITRIP input function, and what external components are required?

The ITRIP pin accepts a voltage derived from a shunt resistor in the inverter leg; it trips all six outputs when ≥0.46 V is detected. No external comparator is needed-the internal threshold and hysteresis (0.07 V) are fixed. A simple RC filter may be added for noise rejection, but the pin has built-in 100–200 ns input filtering.

Can IR2136PBF drive both MOSFETs and IGBTs, and what are the gate drive limitations?

Yes-IR2136PBF drives both N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs via its 200 mA source / 350 mA sink outputs. It supports gate charges up to ~30 nC at 15V VBS, sufficient for 30A–60A discrete devices. For larger modules, external gate buffers may be needed, but the IC itself handles standard discrete power switches without derating.

What is the purpose of the RCIN pin, and how is the fault-clear delay calculated?

The RCIN pin sets the automatic fault recovery time after an over-current event clears. Delay = R × C, where R is pull-up resistance to VCC and C is capacitor to COM. With R = 2 MΩ and C = 1 nF, t_FLTCLR = 1.3–2 ms (typical). This allows safe discharge of DC-link energy before re-enabling outputs.
