Product details
Overview
IR2154S from Infineon Technologies is a self-oscillating 600V half-bridge gate driver IC with integrated oscillator, 15.6V VCC zener clamp, 1.2µs typical deadtime, and shutdown functionality via CT pin. It drives high- and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in resonant LLC, ballast, and HID lamp control circuits where precise timing and noise immunity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IR2154S datasheet, IR2154S pinout, IR2154S application, or IR2154S equivalent, key selection criteria include its micropower startup current (75µA typ), 1V UVLO hysteresis, 80/40ns rise/fall times, and CT-pin–based shutdown threshold (2.1V typ) - all verified in PD60063I preliminary datasheet.
Technical Context
The IR2154S integrates a CMOS 555-style oscillator front end with adjustable frequency (19.4–20.6kHz at RT=36.9kΩ, CT=1nF) and fixed 50% duty cycle. Its high-side level-shifting circuit operates up to 600V offset with ±50V/ns dV/dt immunity and includes internal 15.6V zener clamping on VCC.
Deadtime is controlled by internal delay and logic, delivering tight initial control (±0.25µs variation) and low temperature coefficient. Shutdown is triggered when CT voltage drops below 2.1V, forcing both HO and LO outputs low while maintaining latch immunity across all pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOFFSET | 600V max - supports high-side switching in bridge topologies with up to 600V bus voltage |
| fosc | 19.4–20.6 kHz - factory-trimmed oscillator frequency for stable timing without external crystal |
| Deadtime (typ.) | 1.2 µs - ensures safe non-overlap between HO and LO drive pulses in half-bridge operation |
| VCLAMP | 15.6 V - internal zener limits VCC to prevent overvoltage damage during bootstrap charging |
| UVLO Hysteresis | 1.0 V - reduces false triggering during supply transients in industrial power supplies |
| IQCCUV | 75 µA typ - enables reliable startup from low-current auxiliary supplies in energy-efficient ballasts |
| tr/tf | 80/40 ns - optimized slew rates balance switching speed and EMI reduction in lighting drivers |
Pinout & Package
IR2154S is available in 8-lead SOIC package (RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-012AC) with standard thermal pad layout and creepage distance suitable for 600V isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VB | High-side floating supply | Connects to bootstrap capacitor anode; must sustain 600V offset relative to VS |
| HO | High-side gate driver output | Drives N-MOSFET gate referenced to VS; in-phase with RT signal |
| VS | Floating supply return | Reference node for high-side circuitry; must not swing >5V below ground |
| LO | Low-side gate driver output | Drives N-MOSFET gate referenced to COM; constant pulse width at startup |
| VCC | Logic supply input | Powered via 15.6V zener clamp; requires ≥5mA to maintain regulation |
| RT | Oscillator timing resistor | Sets frequency; 10–100kΩ range yields 10kHz–1MHz per datasheet curves |
| CT | Oscillator timing capacitor | Defines ramp period; shutdown activates when voltage falls below 2.1V |
| COM | Signal and power ground | Common reference for all low-side signals and VCC return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True micropower startup | 75µA VCC supply current below UVLO threshold enables reliable ignition in low-power HID ballasts |
| CT-pin shutdown | 2.1V threshold allows simple microcontroller or optocoupler-based disable control without external logic |
| Constant HO/LO pulse width at startup | Eliminates frequency drift during VCC ramp-up, ensuring stable lamp ignition in fluorescent/HID systems |
| Lower di/dt gate drivers | Reduced edge slew rate improves noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments like SMPS and inverters |
| ESD protection on all leads | Qualified to >2kV HBM per JESD22-A114 ensures robustness during PCB handling and assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar self-oscillating half-bridge gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2153S | No CT shutdown feature; 0.5V UVLO hysteresis vs. 1.0V; higher startup current (150µA) | Lacks programmable disable; less resilient to brownout in unstable AC mains | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for shutdown control and tighter UVLO margin |
| FAN7382MX | Non-self-oscillating; requires external PWM input; no RT/CT pins; 600V rating retained | Requires separate controller IC; better suited for digitally regulated systems | Select when system already uses MCU-based timing or needs independent duty-cycle adjustment |
Compared with IR2153S and FAN7382MX, the IR2154S uniquely combines self-oscillation, CT-based shutdown, and 1V UVLO hysteresis - making it optimal for standalone, cost-sensitive lighting and resonant converter designs where integration and transient resilience are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pin?
The IR2154S is rated for ±50 V/ns dV/dt on the VS node per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Exceeding this may cause false triggering or latch-up. Layout best practices include minimizing loop area between VS, HO, and bootstrap capacitor, and using ferrite beads on VB traces to suppress ringing.
Can IR2154S drive both N-channel and P-channel high-side MOSFETs?
The IR2154S is designed exclusively for N-channel high-side MOSFETs using bootstrap gate drive. It does not support P-channel devices, as its high-side output (HO) is referenced to VS and lacks the negative voltage capability required for P-MOSFET gate turn-off.
How is the 15.6V VCC clamp implemented internally?
The clamp is a monolithic zener structure between VCC and COM, specified at 14.4–16.8V (typ. 15.6V) with 5mA test current. It is not a regulator - sufficient current (>5mA) must be supplied externally to maintain clamping action during bootstrap charging cycles.
Does IR2154S require external bootstrap diode and capacitor?
Yes. A fast-recovery bootstrap diode (e.g., 1N4148W or equivalent) and low-ESR capacitor (typically 0.1–1µF ceramic + 10µF electrolytic) must be placed between VB and VS. The IC provides no internal charge pump or diode; proper sizing prevents VBS undervoltage during sustained high-duty operation.
