Product details

Overview

IR2136S 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 features floating channel operation up to +600 V, 3.3 V logic compatibility, matched propagation delay (400 ns typ. turn-on), undervoltage lockout on all channels, and over-current shutdown with external RC-programmable fault clear-used in industrial motor inverters and servo drives.

For engineers reviewing the IR2136S datasheet, IR2136S pinout, IR2136S application, or IR2136S equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible high-side drive capability, 600 V VS offset rating, 10–20 V VCC supply range, integrated shoot-through prevention logic, and open-drain FAULT signaling with automatic recovery timing.

Technical Context

The IR2136S integrates proprietary HVIC technology enabling monolithic high-side and low-side driver stages referenced to COM and floating VS nodes. Its internal level shifters support dV/dt-immune operation up to 50 V/ns, while matched propagation delays (±40 ns max mismatch) ensure synchronized PWM across all six outputs.

It implements cross-conduction prevention via hardware-deadtime logic and uses a dominant-set latch architecture for ITRIP-triggered shutdown. The FAULT output is open-drain and asserts low during UV or over-current events, clearing automatically after RCIN voltage exceeds 8 V following a programmable delay.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_BS Range	10–20 V: Sets usable bootstrap capacitor voltage window for reliable high-side gate drive at 600 V bus.
t_on/t_off	400/380 ns typ.: Enables >250 kHz PWM switching with minimal timing skew across 3 phases.
V_ITRIP+	0.46 V: Low-threshold current-sense comparator allows use of small-value, low-power shunt resistors.
V_CC UV+/-	8.9 V / 8.2 V: Hysteresis ensures stable restart after brown-out without oscillation during supply ramp-up.
I_O+/I_O−	200 mA / 350 mA pulsed: Sufficient peak current to charge/discharge 1000 pF gate loads within 125 ns rise time.
DT (Deadtime)	220–360 ns: Hardware-enforced minimum off-time prevents shoot-through in hard-switched inverters.
V_S Offset	−5 V to +600 V: Supports high-side operation across full DC bus range including negative transients.

Pinout & Package

IR2136S is available in 28-lead PDIP and 28-lead SOIC packages. Pin assignments are identical between 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; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling.
VSS	Logic ground reference	Common return for all digital inputs (HIN/LIN/EN/ITRIP); must be tied to system logic ground.
COM	Power ground reference	Return path for low-side outputs LO1–LO3; connects to inverter leg source/common emitter node.
HIN1–3	High-side PWM inputs	CMOS/LSTTL-compatible control signals; inverted output phase (except IR21362 variant).
LIN1–3	Low-side PWM inputs	Direct-drive inputs for LO1–LO3; outputs are out-of-phase with LIN signals.
HO1–3	High-side gate drive outputs	Floating outputs referenced to VS1–VS3; drive external N-MOSFET/IGBT gates via bootstrap network.
LO1–3	Low-side gate drive outputs	Ground-referenced outputs; sink/source ≥200 mA to switch 1000 pF loads at <125 ns rise time.
VS1–3	Floating high-side source/emitter sense	Reference node for HO1–HO3; withstands −5 V to +600 V offset vs. COM under transient conditions.
VB1–3	Bootstrap supply input per channel	Connects to bootstrap capacitor top; supplies high-side driver stage during HS conduction.
ITRIP	Over-current sense input	Analog comparator input; triggers shutdown when voltage exceeds 0.46 V (typ.) from shunt resistor.
RCIN	Fault clear timing input	RC network sets auto-clear delay; FAULT deasserts when RCIN crosses 8 V threshold (~1.65 ms with 2 MΩ/1 nF).
EN	Global enable/disable input	Active-high logic input; forces all six outputs low when pulled low, overriding PWM inputs.
FAULT	Open-drain fault indicator	Asserts low during UV or over-current; high-impedance otherwise; requires external pull-up resistor.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Floating channel with 600 V offset rating	Enables direct high-side drive of N-channel switches in 3-phase inverter legs without external level shifters.
Matched propagation delay across all channels	≤75 ns max mismatch ensures synchronous switching critical for vector-controlled PMSM and BLDC motors.
Cross-conduction prevention logic	Hardware-implemented deadtime insertion eliminates need for external timing circuits or software compensation.
Externally programmable fault clear delay	RCIN pin allows precise tuning of recovery time post-overcurrent, preventing nuisance tripping in transient overload.
3.3 V logic compatible inputs	Supports direct interface with modern microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting circuitry.

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	Higher V_CC UV thresholds (10.4 V/9.4 V), in-phase high-side outputs, same 400/380 ns timing.	Preferred where synchronous high-side PWM (non-inverted) is required and higher supply stability margin is needed.	Select when system design mandates non-inverted HO outputs or operates near lower V_CC limit with marginal regulation.
IR21366	Faster timing (250/180 ns), lower logic thresholds (2.0 V/1.3 V), higher V_ITRIP (4.3 V), same package.	Better suited for high-frequency (>500 kHz) resonant converters and SiC-based inverters requiring tighter timing control.	Choose for advanced wide-bandgap designs needing reduced propagation delay and improved noise immunity at 3.3 V logic levels.

Compared with IR21362 and IR21366, the IR2136S offers balanced timing, standard 0.46 V current-sense threshold, and broadest V_CC range (10–20 V), making it optimal for general-purpose industrial inverters where cost, robustness, and design reuse are prioritized.

FAQ

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

The IR2136S is rated for 50 V/ns dV/dt on VS1–VS3 pins. This specification ensures reliable level-shifter operation during fast switching transitions in high-di/dt inverter applications. Exceeding this rate may cause false triggering or temporary loss of high-side output functionality due to internal coupling effects.

Can the FAULT pin be used to directly reset a microcontroller?

No-the FAULT pin is an open-drain output with no internal pull-up and limited sink current (≥50 mA). It must be externally pulled up to a logic-compatible voltage and interfaced through a Schmitt trigger or dedicated fault-handling GPIO with debouncing. Direct MCU reset assertion requires additional conditioning circuitry.

Is bootstrap capacitor sizing dependent on switching frequency?

Yes-bootstrap capacitor value must scale inversely with switching frequency and high-side duty cycle to maintain sufficient V_BS hold-up. For 20 kHz operation at 95% duty, ≥0.22 µF ceramic is recommended; at 100 kHz, ≥0.47 µF is required to avoid V_BS droop below 10 V under load.

Does the IR2136S support independent enable control per phase?

No-it provides only a single global EN input that disables all six outputs simultaneously. Phase-specific enable functionality is not implemented; individual channel control must be achieved by gating HIN/LIN inputs upstream using discrete logic or MCU GPIOs.
