Product details
Overview
IR2153D from Infineon Technologies is a self-oscillating 600V half-bridge gate driver IC with integrated 15.6V zener clamp on VCC, 1.2µs typical deadtime, and micropower startup consuming ≤150µA at UVLO. It drives high- and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in resonant LLC and fluorescent lamp ballast circuits, supporting RT/CT-based frequency tuning from ~20kHz to ~100kHz.
For engineers reviewing the IR2153D datasheet, IR2153D pinout, IR2153D application, or IR2153D equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600V floating offset capability, shutdown threshold at 2.1V on CT pin, tight ±0.45µs deadtime variation over temperature, and internal bootstrap diode (VF = 0.5V @ 250mA) enabling simplified high-side drive.
Technical Context
The IR2153D integrates a CMOS 555-style oscillator front-end with RT/CT timing control, generating complementary HO/LO outputs with fixed 50% duty cycle and programmable frequency. Its high-voltage level-shifting circuit supports VS node operation up to 600V with −3V minimum offset, and features UVLO hysteresis of 1.0V for robust start-up sequencing.
Deadtime is generated via internal R/2-R ladder and comparator thresholds (VCT+ = 8.0V, VCT− = 4.0V), yielding 0.75–1.65µs guaranteed range. The internal 50ns bootstrap diode eliminates external diode requirement in standard half-bridge layouts, while latch immunity and ESD protection (>2kV HBM) ensure reliability in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOFFSET (max) | 600V - supports high-side switching in offline AC-DC and resonant converters without external level-shifters |
| Deadtime (typ.) | 1.2µs - prevents shoot-through in half-bridge topologies with MOSFETs having <100ns turn-off delay |
| VCLAMP | 15.6V - internal zener limits VCC to safe level; requires ≥5mA supply current to maintain regulation |
| fosc (RT=36.9kΩ, CT=1nF) | 20kHz - sets resonant tank frequency in CFL/LED drivers; adjustable from 19.4–20.6kHz typical |
| tr / tf (HO/LO) | 80ns / 45ns - ensures fast edge transitions for <100W SMPS with minimal switching loss |
| IQCCUV (startup) | 75µA - enables direct capacitor-charged VCC startup in low-power auxiliary supplies |
| Bootstrap diode VF | 0.5V @ 250mA - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress vs discrete Schottky alternatives |
Pinout & Package
IR2153D is supplied in an 8-lead PDIP package (01-3003-01), with creepage/clearance suitable for 250VAC mains-referenced designs. Pin 1 is VB, pin 2 is HO, pin 3 is VS, pin 4 is LO, pin 5 is VCC, pin 6 is RT, pin 7 is CT, and pin 8 is COM.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VB | High-side floating supply input | Connects to bootstrap capacitor top; must withstand 600V offset relative to COM |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Sinks/source up to 250mA to drive N-MOSFET gate; referenced to VS |
| VS | Floating supply return | Node between high-side MOSFET source and low-side drain; may swing −3V below COM |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives low-side N-MOSFET gate directly referenced to COM; in-phase with RT signal |
| VCC | Logic and gate-drive supply | Internally clamped at 15.6V; requires ≥5mA to sustain regulation during full-load operation |
| RT | Oscillator timing resistor input | Sets frequency via RC time constant; output voltage swings rail-to-rail during oscillation |
| CT | Oscillator timing capacitor input | Charges/discharges between 4.0V and 8.0V; shutdown triggered at 2.1V threshold |
| COM | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for VCC, LO, RT, CT, and logic core; not isolated from PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 50ns bootstrap diode | Eliminates external diode in standard half-bridge layout, reducing BOM count and PCB area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar self-oscillating half-bridge driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS2153D | Enhanced ESD rating (4kV HBM), lower ICC (450µA typ.), improved dV/dt immunity (±100V/ns) | Preferred for new designs requiring higher reliability in high-noise motor drive environments | Select IRS2153D when designing for automotive-grade ESD robustness or extended temperature operation beyond 105°C |
| IR21531 | No internal bootstrap diode; requires external diode; identical pinout and oscillator architecture | Suitable where board space permits discrete diode placement and thermal management is prioritized | Choose IR21531 only if legacy layout re-use mandates external diode or if bootstrap diode failure mode analysis requires isolation |
Compared with IR2153D, IRS2153D offers superior noise immunity and lower quiescent current for next-gen designs, while IR21531 trades integration for thermal flexibility-making IR2153D optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained CFL and LED driver applications where internal diode simplifies layout.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pin?
The IR2153D specifies ±50V/ns as the absolute maximum allowable slew rate on the VS node. Exceeding this may cause false triggering of the high-side level shifter or latch-up. Layout best practices include minimizing loop area between VS, HO, and VB, and using local ceramic decoupling near the IC to suppress ringing.
Can IR2153D drive 600V GaN HEMTs directly?
No. While the IR2153D supports 600V offset on VB/VS, its output drive strength (250mA sink/source) and 80ns rise time are insufficient for fast-switching GaN devices requiring <10ns edges and >1A peak gate current. It is qualified for standard silicon MOSFETs only.
How does the CT pin shutdown function interact with UVLO?
CT shutdown is independent of UVLO: it activates when CT voltage drops below 2.1V, forcing both HO and LO low regardless of VCC status. UVLO (VCCUV− = 7.2V) disables oscillator and outputs only when VCC falls below threshold. Both mechanisms provide layered protection but operate on separate internal comparators.
Is the internal bootstrap diode rated for continuous conduction?
Yes-the internal diode is rated for 250mA DC forward current with VF = 0.5V at 25°C. It is designed for continuous conduction in standard half-bridge configurations where bootstrap capacitor recharge occurs each cycle; sustained >250mA requires external diode derating per thermal simulation.
