Product details
Overview
IRS21814PBF from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-speed dual-channel gate driver IC for N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs, featuring independent high-side (HO) and low-side (LO) outputs with 600 V floating capability, 1.4 A/1.8 A peak source/sink current, matched propagation delay ≤35 ns, and 3.3 V/5 V logic compatibility - used in half-bridge motor inverters and SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IRS21814PBF datasheet, IRS21814PBF pinout, IRS21814PBF application, or IRS21814PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap-compatible high-side operation up to +600 V, undervoltage lockout on both VCC and VB supplies, ±5 V logic/power ground offset tolerance, and dV/dt immunity up to 50 V/ns in PDIP package.
Technical Context
The IRS21814PBF integrates a ruggedized HVIC process with latch-immune CMOS logic to support simultaneous high-side and low-side drive in bridge topologies. Its floating channel uses pulse-transformed level shifting with internal UV detection and delay-matched propagation paths for HO and LO.
It operates with VCC = 10–20 V and VB = VS + 10 to VS + 20 V, tolerating VS transients from –5 V to +600 V. Logic inputs HIN/LIN reference VSS (dedicated pin), enabling precise noise margin control separate from COM, unlike the 8-lead IRS2181.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max voltage rating | 600 V high-side floating capability - supports direct connection to 400 V DC bus in motor drives |
| Output drive strength | 1.4 A source / 1.8 A sink - sufficient to switch 100 nC gate charge at ≤100 ns transition time |
| Propagation delay match | ≤35 ns difference between HO and LO turn-on/off - minimizes shoot-through risk in synchronous bridges |
| Logic supply range | 3.3 V or 5 V compatible with VSS-referenced inputs - eliminates level-shifter need in MCU-connected designs |
| UVLO thresholds | VCC/VB UV+ = 8.0–9.8 V, hysteresis ≥0.3 V - prevents erratic switching during brown-out conditions |
| dV/dt immunity | 50 V/ns (PDIP) - sustains reliable operation during fast-switching transients in high-di/dt power stages |
| Thermal resistance | RthJA = 75 °C/W (14-lead PDIP) - enables 1.6 W dissipation at TA ≤ +25 °C without forced cooling |
Pinout & Package
IRS21814PBF is housed in a 14-lead plastic DIP (PDIP) package with through-hole mounting and creepage optimized for 600 V isolation. Pin 1 is HIN; pin 14 is VS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HIN | High-side logic input | In-phase control signal referenced to VSS; accepts 3.3 V/5 V CMOS/LSTTL |
| LIN | Low-side logic input | In-phase control signal referenced to VSS; independent of COM for noise rejection |
| VSS | Logic ground reference | Dedicated ground for HIN/LIN inputs - isolates logic domain from power ground noise |
| COM | Low-side return path | Power ground for LO output and internal level-shift circuitry |
| LO | Low-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET/IGBT gate with 1.8 A sink current; referenced to COM |
| VCC | Fixed supply for logic & low-side | 10–20 V input powering internal logic, UVLO, and LO driver stage |
| VB | High-side floating supply | Bootstrap-supplied rail for high-side driver; must be ≥VS + 10 V |
| HO | High-side gate drive output | Drives N-MOSFET/IGBT gate with 1.4 A source current; floats with VS |
| VS | High-side floating return | Switch node connection point; defines reference for HO and VB regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating channel architecture | Enables high-side drive in bootstrap configuration up to 600 V without external level shifters |
| Matched propagation delay | ≤35 ns mismatch between HO and LO ensures precise dead-time control in half-bridge PWM |
| Dedicated VSS pin | Separates logic ground from power ground (COM), reducing coupling noise into input signals |
| Robust dV/dt immunity | 50 V/ns tolerance prevents false triggering during fast high-side switching transitions |
| Independent UVLO per supply | VCC and VB each have dedicated undervoltage lockout with hysteresis - avoids partial enable faults |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side/low-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS2181PBF | 8-lead PDIP; no VSS pin; inputs referenced to COM; no logic ground separation | Suitable only where logic and power grounds are tightly coupled; lacks VSS noise isolation | Select when board layout constraints prohibit 14-pin footprint and noise immunity is secondary |
| IR2110PbF | Slower propagation (250/350 ns typ), lower drive (2.5 A/2.5 A), no VSS pin, 16-pin PDIP | Used in legacy industrial drives; lacks modern dV/dt immunity and logic ground decoupling | Choose only for drop-in replacement in existing IR2110-based designs with relaxed timing/noise requirements |
Compared with IRS2181PBF and IR2110PbF, the IRS21814PBF delivers superior noise immunity via VSS isolation, tighter timing matching, and higher dV/dt tolerance - critical for high-density, high-efficiency inverter designs where layout-induced coupling cannot be fully controlled.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the VSS pin on IRS21814PBF?
VSS is a dedicated logic ground reference for HIN and LIN inputs, electrically isolated from COM (power ground). This separation reduces noise coupling from high-di/dt power switching into logic inputs, improving noise immunity in dense PCB layouts. It enables clean 3.3 V/5 V logic interfacing without requiring external level shifters or ferrite beads.
Can IRS21814PBF drive IGBTs directly?
Yes - IRS21814PBF provides 1.4 A source and 1.8 A sink peak gate current, sufficient to drive standard 15–75 A IGBTs with gate charge ≤100 nC. Its 600 V floating capability and dV/dt immunity make it suitable for IGBT half-bridges in induction heating and UPS inverters, provided gate resistor values are selected to limit peak current within device ratings.
How does the bootstrap supply (VB) connect in a typical half-bridge?
VB connects to a bootstrap capacitor charged through a diode from VCC when LO is active and VS ≈ 0 V. During high-side conduction, the capacitor supplies gate drive for HO while floating at VS potential. The datasheet specifies VB must remain ≥VS + 10 V; minimum capacitance is 0.1 µF ceramic with low ESR to sustain voltage under 1.4 A peak load.
Is IRS21814PBF RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - IRS21814PBF is RoHS compliant (PbF suffix) and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL-3. It is also halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, with chlorine ≤900 ppm and bromine ≤900 ppm. Full compliance documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
