Product details
Overview
IRS2124SPBF from Infineon Technologies is a high-side gate driver IC designed for driving N-channel MOSFETs in bootstrap-configured half-bridge topologies. It features 600 V high-voltage level-shifting, 210 ns propagation delay (typ), and operates from 10–20 V VDD. It is used in AC-DC PFC stages and motor control inverters requiring isolated high-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRS2124SPBF datasheet, IRS2124SPBF pinout, IRS2124SPBF application, or IRS2124SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible high-side drive capability, propagation delay matching with low-side drivers, undervoltage lockout thresholds, and SOIC-8 thermal performance under continuous 200 mA sink/source current.
Technical Context
The IRS2124SPBF integrates a high-voltage level shifter and CMOS logic input stage to translate low-side logic signals to floating high-side gate outputs. Its internal circuitry includes independent UVLO on both VDD (10 V turn-on / 8.5 V turn-off) and VBS (9.2 V turn-on / 7.8 V turn-off), ensuring robust operation during bootstrap capacitor discharge.
It supports 100% duty cycle operation via external bootstrap diode and capacitor, and delivers peak output currents of +200 mA / –200 mA at the HO pin. The LO output is a standard low-side driver with identical timing characteristics and drive strength.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBS max | 600 V - Enables direct connection to high-side switch drain in 600 V bridge applications |
| tPHL/tPLH | 210 ns (typ) - Ensures tight timing alignment with complementary low-side drivers |
| IO(peak) | ±200 mA - Sufficient to charge/discharge 1 nF gate capacitance in ≤25 ns |
| VDD range | 10–20 V - Matches standard gate driver supply rails and avoids overvoltage stress on logic inputs |
| UVLO VDD | 10 V (on) / 8.5 V (off) - Prevents erratic switching during brown-out conditions |
| UVLO VBS | 9.2 V (on) / 7.8 V (off) - Maintains gate drive integrity during bootstrap recharge cycles |
Pinout & Package
IRS2124SPBF is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SOIC-8, body width 3.9 mm, JEDEC MS-012), with creepage distance ≥5.0 mm between high- and low-side sections for reinforced isolation compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Low-side logic supply | Provides power to input logic and low-side driver stage; referenced to COM |
| IN | CMOS/TTL input | Accepts 3.3 V/5 V logic-level PWM signal; Schmitt-trigger input for noise immunity |
| COM | Low-side return | Reference node for VDD, IN, SD, and LO; must be tied to source of low-side MOSFET |
| LO | Low-side gate output | Drives gate of N-channel MOSFET referenced to COM; ±200 mA peak drive |
| VSS | High-side floating ground | Return path for HO output; tied to source of high-side MOSFET and bootstrap capacitor negative |
| VBS | Bootstrap supply input | Connects to positive terminal of bootstrap capacitor; supplies high-side driver stage |
| HO | High-side gate output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET referenced to VSS; ±200 mA peak drive |
| SD | Shutdown input | Active-low enable; pulls both HO and LO low when asserted; internally pulled up to VDD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 V high-voltage level shifting | Enables direct integration into 600 V half-bridge circuits without external level-shift isolation |
| Matched propagation delays (HO/LO) | Ensures <10 ns skew between high- and low-side outputs for precise dead-time control |
| Dual independent UVLO monitoring | Prevents shoot-through by disabling outputs if either VDD or VBS falls below safe threshold |
| Integrated Schmitt-trigger input | Rejects <50 ns noise spikes on IN pin, eliminating need for external RC filtering |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Shuts down driver if junction temperature exceeds 150 °C, preventing latch-up during overload |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2110PbF | Higher VBS rating (600 V same), but longer tPHL (250 ns typ); no integrated thermal shutdown | Requires external thermal monitoring in high-ambient environments | Preferred where legacy design reuse and wider VDD range (10–25 V) are critical |
| FAN7382MX | Lower VBS (600 V same), but higher IO (±600 mA); no SD pin | Lacks shutdown control; requires external enable logic | Selected when faster gate charging is needed for >100 kHz operation with large gate charges |
Compared with IR2110PbF and FAN7382MX, IRS2124SPBF offers tighter propagation delay matching, integrated thermal protection, and active-low shutdown-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding industrial inverters where reliability and timing precision are prioritized over raw drive current.

FAQ
What is the minimum bootstrap capacitor value required for IRS2124SPBF at 100 kHz switching?
A 100 nF ceramic capacitor is sufficient for 100 kHz operation with 50% duty cycle and 200 mA average bootstrap current. The device's 7.8 V VBS UVLO threshold ensures gate drive remains active across the full switching cycle, provided the capacitor is rated for ≥25 V and placed within 5 mm of VBS/VSS pins.
Can IRS2124SPBF drive IGBTs directly?
Yes, IRS2124SPBF can drive discrete IGBTs with gate charge ≤150 nC at 15 V VGE. Its ±200 mA peak output current and 210 ns propagation delay support typical IGBT switching frequencies up to 30 kHz. Gate resistor selection must limit dV/dt to ≤5 V/ns at the IGBT collector to avoid false triggering.
Does IRS2124SPBF require external pull-down resistors on HO and LO?
No. IRS2124SPBF includes internal 100 kΩ pull-down resistors on both HO and LO outputs. These ensure MOSFETs remain off during power-up, shutdown, or floating input conditions-eliminating need for external components in most designs.
How does the SD pin interact with UVLO conditions?
The SD pin is independent of UVLO circuits: asserting SD low forces HO and LO low regardless of VDD or VBS status. UVLO events disable outputs only when supply voltages fall below thresholds, while SD provides active, logic-controlled shutdown-enabling coordinated system-level fault response.
