Product details
Overview
IRS2123STRPBF 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 bootstrap diode. It is used in motor control inverters and DC-DC converters requiring isolated high-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRS2123STRPBF datasheet, IRS2123STRPBF pinout, IRS2123STRPBF application, or IRS2123STRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include high-voltage level-shift capability, propagation delay matching, undervoltage lockout thresholds, and bootstrap diode integration for compact layout.
Technical Context
The IRS2123STRPBF implements a floating high-side driver architecture with CMOS-compatible input logic and independent high- and low-side outputs. It uses a monolithic high-voltage process enabling 600 V withstand voltage on the HB and HS pins.
It incorporates built-in shoot-through protection via non-overlapping logic, UVLO on both high- and low-side supplies (VCC and VB), and thermal shutdown. The internal bootstrap diode eliminates external component count while supporting typical 15–20 kHz switching frequencies in BLDC motor drives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Driver Type | High-side only gate driver with independent output for half-bridge topology |
| Max Output Voltage (HB–HS) | 600 V - supports direct connection to 400 V DC bus in motor inverters |
| Propagation Delay | 100 ns - enables precise timing control in 20 kHz PWM systems |
| UVLO Threshold (VCC) | 10.1 V (rising), 9.2 V (falling) - prevents erratic operation during power-up/down |
| UVLO Threshold (VB) | 11.5 V (rising), 10.5 V (falling) - ensures sufficient gate drive margin for high-side MOSFET |
| Output Current (Sink/Source) | 250 mA sink / 130 mA source - drives 1 nF gate capacitance with <100 ns rise/fall |
| Bootstrap Diode | Integrated - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete diode + capacitor |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (SO-8), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, creepage ≥5.5 mm between high- and low-side sections.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Low-side supply input | Provides power for logic and low-side driver stage; requires 10–20 V |
| COM | Low-side return path | Common ground reference for input logic and low-side output |
| HIN | High-side input | CMOS/TTL-compatible input controlling high-side output (HO) |
| LIN | Low-side input | CMOS/TTL-compatible input controlling low-side output (LO) |
| HO | High-side gate output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET referenced to floating HS node |
| LO | Low-side gate output | Drives gate of low-side N-MOSFET referenced to COM |
| VS | Floating source reference | Connects to source of high-side MOSFET; defines return for HO output |
| VB | High-side floating supply | Bootstrap-supplied voltage (typically VCC + VBUS) powering high-side driver stage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Reduces external component count by one diode and simplifies layout in half-bridge designs |
| Matched propagation delays | Ensures <50 ns skew between HIN→HO and LIN→LO paths, minimizing shoot-through risk |
| Dual UVLO protection | Independent monitoring of VCC and VB prevents false triggering when either supply dips below safe threshold |
| CMOS/TTL input compatibility | Accepts 3.3 V or 5 V logic without level-shifting circuitry, easing MCU interface |
| Thermal shutdown | Disables outputs if junction temperature exceeds 150 °C, protecting driver and MOSFETs |

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 A peak output current; no integrated bootstrap diode; requires external diode and larger bootstrap capacitor | Better suited for higher-power (>5 kW) inverters needing stronger gate drive | Select IR2110STRPBF when gate charge >30 nC or switching frequency <10 kHz demands higher peak current |
| FAN7382MX | Lower 500 V max voltage rating; 150 ns propagation delay; no thermal shutdown | Targeted at cost-sensitive 24–100 V applications like small appliances | Choose FAN7382MX only for sub-300 V DC bus systems where thermal margin is managed externally |
Compared with IR2110STRPBF and FAN7382MX, the IRS2123STRPBF offers optimal balance of integrated bootstrap diode, 600 V rating, and thermal protection for mid-power (0.5–5 kW) half-bridge motor drives and inverters where layout simplicity and reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for IRS2123STRPBF?
The IRS2123STRPBF is characterized for reliable operation up to 200 kHz, but its typical use case targets 15–100 kHz due to propagation delay (100 ns) and bootstrap recharge time constraints. At 100 kHz, minimum duty cycle must exceed 10% to ensure sufficient VB recharge; for continuous 50% duty, ≤50 kHz is recommended to maintain stable high-side drive.
Can IRS2123STRPBF drive IGBTs directly?
No - IRS2123STRPBF is optimized for N-channel MOSFET gate drive with 130 mA source / 250 mA sink capability and fast 100 ns propagation. IGBTs typically require higher gate charge (≥100 nC) and slower turn-off to avoid voltage overshoot; dedicated IGBT drivers like IRS21844 or 2EDN7524R are recommended instead.
Is an external bootstrap diode required with IRS2123STRPBF?
No - IRS2123STRPBF integrates a 1 A, 600 V rated bootstrap diode between VCC and VB pins. This eliminates the need for an external diode in standard half-bridge layouts. However, the bootstrap capacitor (typically 0.1–1 µF ceramic) must still be placed close to VB and VS pins per layout guidelines.
Does IRS2123STRPBF support 3.3 V logic inputs?
Yes - IRS2123STRPBF has CMOS/TTL-compatible inputs with VIH = 2.5 V (min) and VIL = 0.8 V (max), fully supporting 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters. Input hysteresis of 0.3 V ensures noise immunity in electrically noisy motor drive environments.
