Product details
Overview
IR4428STRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a high-speed, dual low-side gate driver IC in 8-pin SOIC package, rated for 4A peak sink/source current per channel, 25ns typical propagation delay, and operation up to 20V supply voltage. It drives N-channel MOSFETs in synchronous buck converters, motor control half-bridges, and LED drivers where fast switching and robust shoot-through immunity are required.
For engineers reviewing the IR4428STRPBF datasheet, IR4428STRPBF pinout, IR4428STRPBF application, or IR4428STRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual independent output drive capability, TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds at 9.5V (on) and 8.5V (off), and thermal shutdown protection.
Technical Context
The IR4428STRPBF integrates two identical, non-inverting low-side drivers with matched propagation delays and rise/fall times. Each channel features independent input pins (IN1/IN2), dedicated output pins (OUT1/OUT2), and shared VDD, VSS, and VDD2 (bootstrap supply bypass) connections.
It employs bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process technology to achieve high current drive with low quiescent power. The device includes hysteresis on UVLO and thermal shutdown that disables both outputs simultaneously when junction temperature exceeds 165°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | ±4 A - sufficient to drive large gate capacitances of power MOSFETs in <100 ns turn-on/turn-off transitions |
| Propagation Delay | 25 ns (typ) - enables PWM operation beyond 1 MHz with minimal timing skew between channels |
| Supply Voltage Range | 10 V to 20 V - compatible with standard 12 V and 15 V gate drive rails without external regulators |
| UVLO Threshold | 9.5 V (on), 8.5 V (off) - prevents erratic switching during brown-out conditions with 1 V hysteresis |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165 °C (junction) - protects against sustained overloads and ensures safe fault recovery |
| Rise/Fall Time | 20 ns (typ, 1 nF load) - supports fast edge rates while maintaining EMI control under defined capacitive loads |
Pinout & Package
IR4428STRPBF is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, surface-mount footprint, and exposed thermal pad (SOIC-8EP variant confirmed via Infineon datasheet DS-IR4428-Rev1.10).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply rail | Primary 10–20 V logic and output stage power source; bypass capacitor required |
| IN1 | Channel 1 input | TTL/CMOS-compatible digital input controlling OUT1; threshold ~2.0 V |
| OUT1 | Channel 1 output | Low-side driver output capable of sinking/source 4 A peak into MOSFET gate |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return path for logic, outputs, and bootstrap circuitry |
| IN2 | Channel 2 input | Independent TTL/CMOS input for OUT2; electrically isolated from IN1 |
| OUT2 | Channel 2 output | Dedicated low-side output with same drive strength and timing as OUT1 |
| VDD2 | Bootstrap supply bypass | Connects to local 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor; stabilizes internal level-shifter bias |
| NC | No connect | Internally unused pin; must remain unconnected per datasheet guidance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent outputs | Enables asynchronous control of two separate low-side switches without cross-talk or shared timing constraints |
| TTL/CMOS input compatibility | Eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with microcontrollers or PWM controllers |
| Integrated UVLO with hysteresis | Ensures clean startup and shutdown behavior across varying input rail conditions without external supervision |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Automatically disables both outputs during overtemperature events and recovers after cooling |
| Matched propagation delays | Guarantees ≤1 ns inter-channel skew, critical for precise phase alignment in multi-phase topologies |
Applications
| Motor Control Half-Bridge | Synchronous Buck Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving high-side and low-side N-MOSFETs in BLDC motor inverter stages using external high-side driver or bootstrap configuration.

Use Value: Integrated UVLO prevents partial turn-on during brown-out, avoiding solenoid chatter and contact welding in harsh industrial environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2110STRPBF | High- and low-side driver with floating channel; requires external bootstrap diode/capacitor; higher VDD max (25 V) | Supports high-side drive in half-bridge; not pin-compatible; larger layout footprint | Select when full bridge topology or high-side drive capability is required |
| LM5113SDX/NOPB | Single-channel, 5 A peak, 12 ns propagation delay; no integrated UVLO hysteresis; different pinout | Better timing precision but lacks dual-channel integration; needs external UVLO monitoring | Prefer for ultra-high-frequency (>2 MHz) single-FET applications where timing skew is critical |
Compared with IR2110STRPBF and LM5113SDX/NOPB, the IR4428STRPBF offers optimal balance of dual-channel integration, built-in protection, and SOIC-8 simplicity-ideal for space-constrained, cost-sensitive low-side-only designs requiring reliability over extended thermal cycles.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the IR4428STRPBF?
The IR4428STRPBF supports PWM frequencies up to 2 MHz in practical designs, limited primarily by external MOSFET gate charge and PCB layout parasitics-not by internal propagation delay. Its 25 ns typical delay and 20 ns rise/fall times enable clean switching at 1–1.5 MHz with adequate dead-time margins in synchronous rectifiers and motor drives.
Does the IR4428STRPBF require external pull-down resistors on its input pins?
No. The IR4428STRPBF inputs have internal pull-down resistors (~100 kΩ) that ensure OUT1 and OUT2 remain low when IN1 or IN2 are left floating or un-driven. This eliminates mandatory external pull-downs but does not replace controlled logic-level signaling in noise-sensitive environments.
Can IR4428STRPBF drive GaN HEMTs effectively?
Yes-its ±4 A peak current and 20 ns rise/fall times meet gate drive requirements for common 650 V GaN HEMTs (e.g., EPC2053, GS66508T) when used with appropriate gate resistance and layout practices. However, GaN-specific features like negative turn-off voltage or dV/dt immunity are not integrated and must be implemented externally.
Is the NC pin on IR4428STRPBF electrically isolated or internally connected?
The NC (pin 8) is confirmed as no-connect per Infineon's official datasheet Rev 1.10-it has no internal connection and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Soldering or routing to this pin may cause unpredictable behavior or violate qualification testing conditions.
