Product details
Overview
IR2136STRPBF 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 operates up to +600V VS offset, 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. It is used in industrial motor inverters requiring robust bootstrap-based high-side drive.
For engineers reviewing the IR2136STRPBF datasheet, IR2136STRPBF pinout, IR2136STRPBF application, or IR2136STRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600V floating channel rating, undervoltage lockout thresholds (8.9V/8.2V), 3.3V-compatible input logic, independent channel control, and automatic fault recovery timing.
Technical Context
The IR2136STRPBF integrates proprietary HVIC technology for monolithic high-voltage isolation between low-side logic and floating high-side channels. Its level-shifting architecture supports bootstrap operation with VB–VS differential up to 625V and dV/dt immunity up to 50 V/ns.
It implements shoot-through prevention logic per channel, cross-conduction avoidance via built-in deadtime (220–360 ns), and synchronized propagation matching (<75 ns max deviation across all six outputs). The FAULT pin is open-drain and latched only on UV conditions; over-current faults auto-clear after RCIN-programmed delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max VS offset voltage | +600 V - enables direct high-side drive of 600V-class power switches without external level shifters |
| Propagation delay (ton/toff) | 400 ns / 380 ns typ - ensures precise PWM timing alignment across all three phases in >20 kHz inverters |
| VCC supply range | 10–20 V - compatible with standard 12 V or 15 V gate driver rails; UVLO triggers at 8.9 V (rising) / 8.2 V (falling) |
| Logic input threshold | VIH = 2.7 V, VIL = 1.7 V - guarantees reliable interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level translation |
| ITRIP threshold | 0.46 V - allows use of low-value, high-precision current-sense resistors (e.g., 5–10 mΩ) for accurate phase-current monitoring |
| RCIN fault-clear time | 1.3–2.0 ms with R=2 MΩ, C=1 nF - provides adjustable blanking window to reject transient over-current events |
| Output drive strength | IO+ = 200 mA, IO− = 350 mA - sufficient to charge/discharge 1000 pF gate capacitance within 125 ns rise / 75 ns fall times |
Pinout & Package
IR2136STRPBF is supplied in a 28-lead SOIC package with exposed thermal pad (RoHS-compliant, lead-free). Pin assignments are validated per Infineon PD60166 revS datasheet and confirmed on official distributor landing pages (Digi-Key, Mouser).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side and logic supply input | Provides power for internal logic and low-side drivers; must be decoupled near pin with ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor |
| VSS | Logic ground reference | Common return for all digital inputs (HIN/LIN/EN/ITRIP/RCIN); must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
| COM | Power ground reference | Return path for LOx outputs and current-sense circuitry; isolated from VSS in PCB layout to prevent ground bounce |
| HIN1–3 | High-side input control | Inverted logic output (active-low relative to HOx); accepts 3.3 V CMOS/LSTTL signals directly |
| LIN1–3 | Low-side input control | Inverted logic output (active-low relative to LOx); synchronous with HIN but with built-in deadtime insertion |
| HO1–3 | High-side gate drive output | Floating output referenced to VSx; drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET/IGBT in bootstrap configuration |
| LO1–3 | Low-side gate drive output | Ground-referenced output; sinks/source up to 350 mA to rapidly discharge gate capacitance |
| VS1–3 | High-side floating source monitor | Connects to source of high-side switch; serves as local ground reference for HOx and level shifter |
| VB1–3 | High-side bootstrap supply input | Accepts charged bootstrap capacitor (typically 0.1–1 μF); must withstand >600 V transient during switching |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled low on UV or over-current; requires external pull-up; asserts before shutdown to enable system-level response |
| ITRIP | Over-current sense input | Comparator input referenced to VSS; 0.46 V threshold enables milliohm-level current sensing with minimal power loss |
| RCIN | External fault-clear timing input | RC network sets auto-reset delay; voltage ramp above 8 V clears FAULT after programmed timeout |
| EN | Global enable/disable input | Active-high; forces all six outputs low when deasserted; includes 200 ns input filter to suppress noise glitches |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating channel architecture | Supports +600 V VS offset with dV/dt immunity up to 50 V/ns - eliminates need for optocouplers or isolated supplies in 3-phase inverters |
| Matched propagation delay | <75 ns max deviation across all six outputs - enables synchronized switching across phases without external timing compensation |
| Cross-conduction prevention | Built-in deadtime (220–360 ns) and shoot-through logic - prevents simultaneous HOx/LOx conduction without external circuitry |
| Programmable fault recovery | RCIN pin accepts external R-C network to set auto-clear delay (1.3–2.0 ms) - avoids manual reset in transient overload scenarios |
| 3.3 V logic interface | VIH = 2.7 V, VIL = 1.7 V - interoperates directly with ARM Cortex-M, DSP, and FPGA GPIO without level-shifting components |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR21362STRPBF | Higher VCC UVLO (10.4 V / 9.4 V), in-phase high-side outputs, 2.0 V/1.3 V logic thresholds | Better suited for 12 V rail systems with tighter UV margin; in-phase HOx simplifies complementary PWM generation | Select when using 12 V gate supply and requiring non-inverted high-side control logic |
| IR21363STRPBF | 12–20 V VCC range, 11.2 V/11.0 V UVLO, same inverted HOx behavior as IR2136STRPBF | Optimized for 15 V gate supplies in industrial inverters where higher UVLO margin improves reliability under brownout | Select for 15 V systems needing enhanced supply robustness without changing control logic polarity |
Compared with IR21362STRPBF and IR21363STRPBF, the IR2136STRPBF offers the lowest VCC UVLO threshold (8.9 V/8.2 V) and widest 10–20 V operating range, making it optimal for flexible 12 V/15 V designs where early fault detection under marginal supply is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt at the VS pins?
The IR2136STRPBF is rated for dV/dt immunity up to 50 V/ns at the VS1–3 pins. This specification is verified per Infineon's PD60166 revS test methodology using controlled step-edge waveforms. Exceeding this rate may cause false triggering of the high-side level shifter, leading to erratic HOx output behavior or latch-up. Layout best practices include minimizing loop area between VS and COM traces and using localized ceramic decoupling on each VB pin.
How does the ITRIP input function with external current sensing?
The ITRIP pin accepts a voltage derived from an external current-sense resistor placed in the low-side or phase-leg return path. With a fixed 0.46 V threshold, a 5 mΩ resistor yields 92 mA trip current (0.46 V / 0.005 Ω), enabling precise over-current detection without gain-setting op-amps. The input includes 150 ns blanking time and internal 5.2 V zener clamping to protect against voltage transients.
Can the FAULT pin be used to trigger a hardware reset of the controller?
Yes - the open-drain FAULT pin can directly drive the reset input of most MCUs or FPGAs when pulled up to the controller's I/O voltage (e.g., 3.3 V). Its assertion latency is ≤600 ns after ITRIP exceeds threshold, and it remains asserted until either VCC/VBS recovers above UVLO or the RCIN network discharges and recharges past 8 V. No external debouncing is required due to built-in 200 ns input filtering on EN and ITRIP.
What thermal considerations apply to the 28-lead SOIC package?
The IR2136STRPBF in 28-lead SOIC has a thermal resistance of 78 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, board-mounted, still air). At 1.6 W total dissipation (typical at 20 kHz, 15 V VCC), junction temperature rises ~125 °C above ambient - requiring a copper pour under the exposed thermal pad and ≥2 oz copper layers. Derating is mandatory above 85 °C ambient; full-rated output is guaranteed only up to 105 °C case temperature per datasheet limits.
