Product details
Overview
IR2235S from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-speed 3-phase bridge gate driver IC with independent high-side and low-side outputs, rated for up to 1200V offset voltage, ±420 mA/±200 mA output drive capability, 750 ns/700 ns typical turn-on/turn-off propagation delay, and 250 ns typical deadtime-used in industrial motor inverters and IGBT-based UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the IR2235S datasheet, IR2235S pinout, IR2235S application, or IR2235S equivalent, key selection criteria include floating channel operation up to 1200V, integrated current-sense amplifier with trip threshold (470–670 mV), undervoltage lockout per supply rail, fault-clear logic input, and matched propagation delays across all six channels.
Technical Context
The IR2235S implements three independent half-bridge drivers using proprietary HVIC technology, enabling robust monolithic construction for high dV/dt immunity and operation up to +1200V on VS pins. Each high-side channel features bootstrap-compatible floating supply (VB1–VB3) and matched propagation delay (750/700 ns typ.) to minimize timing skew in PWM-controlled 3-phase topologies.
It integrates an analog current-sense amplifier (CA+, CA−, CAO) with 5–10 V/µs slew rate, 50–70 dB CMRR/PSRR, and programmable over-current shutdown via external sense resistor. Fault signaling is implemented as open-drain FAULT output with active-low logic and dedicated FLT-CLR input for synchronous reset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max VOFFSET | 1200 V - supports high-voltage IGBTs in 600–1000 V DC bus motor drives |
| IO+/IO− | 200 mA / 420 mA - sufficient gate charge delivery for 30–60 A IGBTs at ≤20 kHz switching |
| VOUT Range | 12–20 V - configurable gate drive voltage for optimized switching loss vs. robustness trade-off |
| tON/tOFF (typ.) | 750 / 700 ns - enables stable PWM operation up to 100 kHz with margin for layout-induced delay |
| Deadtime (typ.) | 250 ns - prevents shoot-through in complementary half-bridge switching without external timing circuitry |
| Logic Compatibility | 2.5 V - interoperable with low-voltage microcontrollers and isolated digital isolators |
| Current Sense Amp | 470–670 mV trip threshold - allows precise over-current detection with standard 5–10 mΩ shunt resistors |
Pinout & Package
IR2235S is housed in a 28-lead SOIC (wide-body) package with gull-wing leads, designed for surface-mount assembly and thermal reliability in industrial power modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HIN1–HIN3 | High-side PWM input | Inverted logic control for HO1–HO3; tolerant to −5 V undershoot during transients |
| LIN1–LIN3 | Low-side PWM input | Inverted logic control for LO1–LO3; referenced to VSS, compatible with MCU GPIO |
| HO1–HO3 | High-side gate drive output | Floating N-channel driver output referenced to VS1–VS3; capable of sourcing 200 mA |
| LO1–LO3 | Low-side gate drive output | Ground-referenced driver output; capable of sinking 420 mA for fast IGBT turn-off |
| VB1–VB3 | Floating high-side supply | Bootstrap capacitor connection point; supports 12–20 V supply for high-side gate bias |
| VS1–VS3 | Floating high-side return | Reference node for high-side outputs; rated for −5 V to +1200 V transient tolerance |
| ITRIP | Over-current sense input | Analog input for current amplifier; triggers shutdown when voltage exceeds 470–670 mV |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Active-low signal indicating UVLO or over-current; requires external pull-up for system-level monitoring |
| FLT-CLR | Fault clear input | Negative-logic asynchronous reset; clears FAULT latch after fault condition is removed |
| SD | Global shutdown input | Asynchronous disable of all six outputs; overrides PWM inputs for emergency stop |
| CA+, CA−, CAO | Current sense amplifier I/O | Differential input pair with rail-to-rail output; provides analog feedback before trip decision |
| VCC | Fixed logic supply | 10–20 V input powering low-side drivers, logic, and amplifier; includes UVLO with 8.2–11.6 V hysteresis |
| VSS, COM | Logic and power ground references | VSS = logic ground; COM = low-side power return; separate pins reduce noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-phase high-voltage gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2233S | Rated for 600 V max VS offset; lower VBSUV thresholds (7.2–9.6 V); identical pinout and feature set | Suitable for 400–600 V DC bus systems (e.g., PMSM servo drives), not rated for 1200 V topologies | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 1200 V requirement and system DC bus stays ≤600 V |
| IRS2330M | Monolithic 600 V 3-phase driver with integrated bootstrap diodes; no current-sense amplifier; 500 ns typical propagation delay | Lacks analog current feedback path; requires external comparator for over-current protection | Choose for simplified BOM in cost-driven 400 V applications where analog sensing is unnecessary |
Compared with IR2233S and IRS2330M, the IR2235S uniquely delivers 1200 V capability plus integrated current-sense amplifier functionality-making it the only option among the three that supports both ultra-high-voltage operation and closed-loop analog current monitoring in a single IC.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pins of the IR2235S?
The IR2235S is specified as dV/dt immune up to 50 V/ns on its VS1–VS3 pins, verified under conditions where VB1–VB3 are biased at 15 V differential. This rating ensures reliable operation in fast-switching IGBT circuits with steep voltage transitions, such as those found in SiC-assisted hybrid inverters or high-frequency UPS designs.
Can the IR2235S drive silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs directly?
Yes-the IR2235S can drive discrete SiC MOSFETs when configured with appropriate gate resistor values and VOUT set to 15–18 V. Its 200 mA source/420 mA sink capability meets typical SiC gate charge requirements for devices up to 30 A, and its 750 ns propagation delay supports switching frequencies up to 150 kHz with adequate timing margin.
How does the ITRIP blanking time function, and is it adjustable?
The IR2235S incorporates a fixed 400 ns internal blanking window after each switching edge, during which the ITRIP comparator is disabled to suppress false over-current triggers caused by Miller current or layout parasitics. This timing is not user-adjustable-it is hard-coded in the IC's internal state machine and applies uniformly to all three phases.
Is the CAO output rail-to-rail, and what load can it drive?
Yes, the CAO output swings rail-to-rail between VSS and VCC (0–20 V), with guaranteed 4 mA source and 1 mA sink capability. It can directly interface with 12-bit SAR ADCs having ≥10 kΩ input impedance or drive optocoupler LEDs with series resistors-no external buffer is required for typical current-sense signal chain implementations.
