Product details
Overview
IR3103 from Infineon Technologies is a monolithic half-bridge gate driver IC with integrated 500V FredFETs, designed for heat-sink-less sub-250W motor drives. It delivers 1.6A continuous output current (TC = 100°C), features integrated bootstrap diode, 1500 VRMS isolation, and matched propagation delays between high-side and low-side switches. Used in refrigerator compressor and fan motor inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IR3103 datasheet, IR3103 pinout, IR3103 application, or IR3103 equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world thermal limits (RthJA = 85 °C/W), MOSFET RDS(on) = 0.8 Ω (typ), driver UVLO thresholds (VCCUV+ = 8.9 V), and shoot-through protection logic.
Technical Context
The IR3103 integrates a high-voltage IC (HVIC) driver with latch-immune CMOS logic and two co-packaged 500V FredFETs - one high-side and one low-side - sharing a common source (COM) and output node (VO). Its bootstrap-based high-side drive supports floating operation up to VB = VO + 20 V, with undervoltage lockout on both VCC (8.9 V typ) and VB (8.9 V typ).
Proprietary HEXFET® FredFET® technology enables ultra-fast body diode recovery (tRR = 105–230 ns) and low switching losses (EON = 100–205 µJ, EOFF = 5–17 µJ). The device operates with trapezoidal 120° commutation at up to 20 kHz without heatsink (IO ≤ 2.5 A @ 55°C ambient).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Rating | 500 V - supports 300 V bus applications with 100 V margin for voltage spikes |
| IO Continuous | 1.6 A @ TC = 100°C - defines max phase current in compact, heatsink-less designs |
| RDS(on) | 0.8 Ω (typ) @ 25°C - determines conduction loss and thermal rise in motor leg |
| tRR | 105–230 ns - enables fast freewheeling with minimal reverse recovery loss |
| VISO | 1500 VRMS - ensures reinforced isolation for appliance safety compliance (IEC 60730) |
| Propagation Match | ≤30 ns skew - prevents timing-induced shoot-through in PWM-controlled inverters |
| VCC UVLO | 8.9 V (typ) - guarantees reliable gate drive only when logic supply is stable |
Pinout & Package
IR3103 uses a compact, isolated single-in-line (SIL) package with creepage/clearance optimized for appliance motor control. The package provides internal isolation between high-side (VB/VO/VDD) and low-side/logic (VCC/VSS/HIN/LIN/COM) domains.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Logic and gate driver supply input - powers internal level shifters and logic core |
| 2 | HIN | High-side gate control input - TTL/CMOS-compatible, referenced to VSS |
| 3 | LIN | Low-side gate control input - independent of HIN, enables dead-time insertion |
| 5 | VSS | Logic ground reference - separate from power ground (COM) for noise immunity |
| 6 | COM | Low-side MOSFET source return - connects to motor phase node and shunt resistor |
| 8 | VB | High-side floating supply - charged via external bootstrap capacitor from VO |
| 9 | VO | Half-bridge output - connects directly to motor winding; shared drain-source path |
| 11 | VDD | High-voltage rail input - referenced to COM; supplies high-side driver stage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Bootstrap Diode | Eliminates external diode, reduces BOM count and layout area in compact inverter designs |
| Latch-Immune HVIC Driver | Prevents false triggering during high dv/dt transients common in motor phase switching |
| FredFET Body Diode Recovery | tRR ≤ 230 ns enables efficient 120° trapezoidal commutation up to 20 kHz |
| ESD Protection | Full-pin ESD rating per JESD22-A114 - protects against handling damage during assembly |
| Matched HS/LS Propagation | ≤30 ns skew ensures precise dead-time control without external timing compensation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR3101 | Same pinout, identical 500 V/1.6 A rating, but lower RDS(on) (0.7 Ω typ) and tighter tRR (90 ns min) | Optimized for higher efficiency in continuous-duty compressors | Select IR3101 when >5% efficiency gain or extended thermal margin is required |
| FAN7382MX | Driver-only (no FETs); requires external 500 V MOSFETs; no integrated bootstrap diode | Suitable for designs needing flexible FET selection or higher current (>3 A) | Choose FAN7382MX when discrete FET optimization or dual-phase scalability is prioritized |
Compared with IR3101, IR3103 trades marginal RDS(on) increase for broader production availability and cost optimization; versus FAN7382MX, it eliminates six external components but fixes FET voltage/current capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for IR3103 without heatsink?
IR3103 supports up to 20 kHz switching frequency in heatsink-less operation at TA = 55°C and TJ = 150°C, as validated in Figure 3 of the datasheet. At 16 kHz, maximum phase current is 2.5 A under trapezoidal 120° commutation with 300 V bus and 0.8 duty cycle.
Does IR3103 require an external bootstrap diode?
No. IR3103 integrates a bootstrap diode internally, connecting VB to VO. This eliminates the need for an external diode and simplifies PCB layout - confirmed in the "Features" section and Pin 8 (VB) description of the datasheet.
How is shoot-through prevented in IR3103?
IR3103 prevents shoot-through via built-in logic that disables both HIN and LIN inputs when they are simultaneously high, as shown in Figure 2. Additionally, propagation delay matching (≤30 ns) and input hysteresis ensure robust timing margins during PWM transitions.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RthJA) for IR3103?
The datasheet specifies RthJA = 85 °C/W under board-mounted, still-air conditions (Note 1). This value assumes standard JEDEC 2S2P test board layout and is used to calculate junction temperature rise: TJ = TA + (PD × 85).
