Product details
Overview
IRS2123SPBF from Infineon Technologies is a high-side gate driver IC designed for driving N-channel MOSFETs in half-bridge configurations. It features 600 V high-voltage level-shifting, 100 ns propagation delay, and integrated dead-time generation. Used in brushless DC motor controllers and industrial inverters for reliable high-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRS2123SPBF datasheet, IRS2123SPBF pinout, IRS2123SPBF application, or IRS2123SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include high-voltage tolerance (600 V), fast propagation delay (100 ns), integrated bootstrap diode, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with PCB layout constraints.
Technical Context
The IRS2123SPBF integrates a high-voltage level shifter to translate logic-level input signals to floating high-side gate drive outputs. It supports up to 600 V DC bus voltage and includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both high- and low-side supplies.
It uses a self-oscillating bootstrap charging scheme with internal diode, eliminating external bootstrap diode requirement. Input logic is CMOS-compatible with hysteresis, and output drivers deliver ±2 A peak source/sink current at 15 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Output Voltage | 600 V - enables direct connection to high-voltage DC bus in half-bridge topologies |
| Propagation Delay | 100 ns - ensures precise timing alignment between high- and low-side control signals |
| Peak Output Current | ±2 A - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge gate capacitance of medium-power MOSFETs |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC: 10–20 V; VBS: 10–20 V - supports wide-range gate drive supply design |
| UVLO Thresholds | VCC UVLO: 9.2 V (on), 8.3 V (off); VBS UVLO: 9.2 V (on), 8.3 V (off) - prevents erratic operation during brown-out |
| Package | SOIC-8 - surface-mount, industry-standard footprint with 1.27 mm pitch and thermal pad option |
Pinout & Package
IRS2123SPBF is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package with exposed thermal pad (SOIC-8EP). Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard SOIC convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side supply | Provides power to logic and low-side driver stage; must be decoupled locally |
| COM | Common return | Reference node for low-side output and logic ground; connects to source of low-side MOSFET |
| LO | Low-side output | Drives gate of low-side N-MOSFET; rated for ±2 A peak current |
| VBS | Bootstrap supply | Input to floating high-side supply rail; charges via internal diode during LO low state |
| HIN | High-side input | CMOS-compatible logic input controlling high-side output; includes Schmitt trigger hysteresis |
| LIN | Low-side input | CMOS-compatible logic input controlling low-side output; independent of HIN |
| HO | High-side output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET referenced to floating source; 600 V tolerant |
| VS | High-side source | Reference node for HO output; connects to drain of low-side MOSFET and source of high-side MOSFET |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Eliminates need for external diode, reducing BOM count and PCB area in half-bridge layouts |
| Dual independent inputs (HIN/LIN) | Enables flexible PWM control schemes including three-phase commutation without external logic |
| Matched propagation delays | Ensures <10 ns skew between HO and LO edges, critical for minimizing shoot-through risk |
| Separate UVLO on VCC and VBS | Prevents partial drive conditions that could damage MOSFETs during supply transients |
| SOIC-8 with thermal pad | Supports >1.5 W continuous power dissipation with proper PCB copper pour under exposed pad |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2110STRPBF | Higher 10 V minimum VCC, no integrated bootstrap diode, wider SOIC-16 package | Requires external bootstrap diode and larger PCB area; suited for higher-current designs with discrete layout control | Select when needing separate bootstrap path or higher drive current margin beyond ±2 A |
| FAN7382MX | Lower 600 V rating but faster 70 ns propagation delay; no internal bootstrap diode | Better suited for high-frequency (>100 kHz) resonant converters where timing precision outweighs integration benefit | Select when optimizing for minimal propagation skew in LLC or Class-E topologies |
Compared with IR2110STRPBF and FAN7382MX, IRS2123SPBF offers best-in-class integration (internal bootstrap diode), compact SOIC-8 footprint, and balanced timing performance-ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained half-bridge motor drives.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for IRS2123SPBF?
The IRS2123SPBF supports reliable operation up to 100 kHz, limited primarily by propagation delay matching (100 ns) and bootstrap capacitor recharge time. At 60 kHz, typical gate charge delivery remains stable with 0.1 µF bootstrap capacitor and 10 Ω gate resistor. Higher frequencies require careful layout to minimize bootstrap loop inductance.
Does IRS2123SPBF require an external bootstrap diode?
No. IRS2123SPBF integrates a high-voltage bootstrap diode between VBS and VCC, eliminating the need for an external diode. This reduces component count and improves reliability in high-density half-bridge designs, provided VCC is properly decoupled and bootstrap capacitor sizing meets datasheet guidelines.
Can IRS2123SPBF drive IGBTs directly?
Yes, IRS2123SPBF can drive small- to medium-power IGBTs (up to 30 A/600 V) when configured with appropriate gate resistor values (typically 5–15 Ω) and adequate gate drive voltage (15 V). Its ±2 A peak output current and 600 V tolerance meet standard IGBT gate requirements, though dedicated IGBT drivers may offer enhanced Miller clamping for high-dV/dt environments.
How does the UVLO function protect the system?
IRS2123SPBF implements independent UVLO on both VCC and VBS rails. If either supply drops below 8.3 V, both HO and LO outputs are forced low. This prevents partial turn-on of power devices during brown-out, avoiding thermal runaway and ensuring safe shutdown before MOSFETs enter linear region.
