Product details
Overview
IRS21850STRPBF 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, 2.5 A peak source/sink current, and integrated bootstrap diode. It operates with 10–20 V VDD, supports 15 ns propagation delay, and is used in motor control inverters and SMPS half-bridge stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRS21850STRPBF datasheet, IRS21850STRPBF pinout, IRS21850STRPBF application, or IRS21850STRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include high-side floating operation capability, bootstrap-based high-side supply integration, propagation delay matching between channels, and 600 V common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) performance.
Technical Context
This driver implements a dual-channel architecture with independent logic inputs (IN and SD) and separate high-side (HO) and low-side (LO) outputs. The high-side channel uses a self-contained level-shifter with built-in diode for bootstrap charging, eliminating external diode requirement.
It incorporates under-voltage lockout (UVLO) on both VDD and VBS rails, with hysteresis of 0.5 V on VDD and 1.2 V on VBS. Output dead-time is internally fixed at 500 ns to prevent shoot-through in bridge topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBS Max | 600 V - Enables direct connection to high-side switch node in 400 V DC bus systems without external level-shift isolation. |
| IO(PK) | ±2.5 A - Sufficient to drive 10 nF gate capacitance with <100 ns rise/fall times at 15 V gate voltage. |
| tPD | 15 ns - Ensures tight timing alignment between HO and LO edges for precise PWM control in 100 kHz+ switching applications. |
| CMTI | 50 V/ns - Maintains reliable high-side output during fast dV/dt transients typical in SiC or GaN-based half-bridges. |
| VDD Range | 10–20 V - Compatible with standard 12 V or 15 V logic supply rails and accommodates input ripple up to ±1 V. |
| UVLO Thresholds | VDD: 9.2/9.7 V; VBS: 9.2/10.4 V - Prevents erratic switching during power-up/down and bootstrap capacitor discharge. |
Pinout & Package
IRS21850STRPBF is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SOIC-8, body width 3.9 mm, pitch 1.27 mm), with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to VSS for enhanced thermal dissipation in continuous 2.5 A drive conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Low-side logic supply | Provides bias for internal logic and low-side driver; must be decoupled locally with ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor. |
| VSS | Power ground reference | Common return for low-side output and logic; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| IN | Input control signal | CMOS-compatible input accepting 3.3 V or 5 V logic; drives both HO and LO via internal logic state machine. |
| SD | Shutdown input | Active-low enable; pulls both outputs low when asserted, overriding IN state for fault-safe shutdown. |
| LO | Low-side gate output | Direct-drive output referenced to VSS; capable of ±2.5 A peak into capacitive load. |
| VBS | Bootstrap supply input | Connects to bootstrap capacitor anode; internal diode charges capacitor during LO conduction phase. |
| HO | High-side gate output | Floating output referenced to VS; drives high-side MOSFET gate with level-shifted logic relative to VS node. |
| VS | High-side floating return | Reference node for HO output; tracks switching node voltage swing up to 600 V with respect to VSS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diode | Eliminates external diode component and associated layout parasitics, reducing BOM count and PCB area by ~15% in half-bridge designs. |
| Dual UVLO with hysteresis | Independent monitoring of VDD and VBS ensures safe operation during brown-out and bootstrap capacitor depletion events. |
| Fixed 500 ns dead-time | Hardware-enforced non-overlap prevents cross-conduction in bridge legs without requiring external timing circuitry or MCU compensation. |
| 600 V high-side floating capability | Supports direct interface to 400 V DC-link systems using standard 600 V rated MOSFETs without auxiliary level-shift circuitry. |
Applications
| Motor Control Inverter | Industrial SMPS |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase BLDC motor drive in HVAC compressors operating from 310 V DC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side gate driver for upper-leg N-MOSFETs in each half-bridge leg; provides synchronized, shoot-through–protected switching with CMTI >50 V/ns. Use Value: Enables reliable 20 kHz PWM operation with minimal gate drive loss and no external bootstrap diodes. | Use Scenario: 1 kW telecom rectifier with active clamp forward topology. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Drives high-side switch in synchronous rectification stage; leverages VBS UVLO to disable output during startup until bootstrap capacitor reaches 10.4 V. Use Value: Reduces startup sequencing complexity and eliminates risk of high-side misfiring before bootstrap charge completion. |
| Solar Microinverter | EV Onboard Charger |
Use Scenario: Single-phase H6 transformerless PV inverter with 600 V DC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Controls high-side switches in bidirectional half-bridge cells; withstands 600 V common-mode transients during grid synchronization. Use Value: Delivers stable gate drive under rapid AC line polarity reversals without desaturation or false triggering. | Use Scenario: 6.6 kW AC/DC OBC using interleaved PFC + LLC stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Drives high-side MOSFETs in PFC boost legs; uses SD pin for immediate fault shutdown during overcurrent detection. Use Value: Achieves sub-100 ns fault response time by bypassing MCU interrupt latency through hardware shutdown path. |
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 | Lacks integrated bootstrap diode; requires external diode and larger bootstrap capacitor due to higher leakage. | Higher board area and BOM cost; less suitable for space-constrained microinverters. | Prefer IRS21850STRPBF where layout density and component count reduction are critical. |
| UCC27211D | Lower VBS rating (200 V); no internal level-shifter - requires external high-side driver or isolated supply. | Not usable in 400 V+ DC bus topologies without added isolation components. | Select IRS21850STRPBF for 600 V-rated half-bridge systems without external level-shift infrastructure. |
Compared with IR2110STRPBF and UCC27211D, IRS21850STRPBF uniquely integrates bootstrap diode and 600 V level-shifting in SOIC-8, enabling compact, high-reliability half-bridge gate drive with single-supply simplicity and robust CMTI.

FAQ
What is the minimum bootstrap capacitor value required for reliable operation at 100 kHz?
A 0.1 μF X7R ceramic capacitor is specified for 100 kHz operation with 50% duty cycle and 15 V VDD. This value ensures VBS remains above 10.4 V UVLO threshold across worst-case gate charge (Qg = 45 nC) and leakage, verified per Infineon Application Note AN-1065.
Does IRS21850STRPBF support independent control of high-side and low-side outputs?
No - IRS21850STRPBF uses a single IN input to control both HO and LO outputs in complementary mode with fixed dead-time. Independent control requires dual-input drivers like IRS21844 or IRS2007.
Can the SD pin be used for overtemperature shutdown?
No - SD is a logic-level shutdown input only; it does not interface with internal thermal sensors. Overtemperature protection requires external circuitry monitoring die temperature via thermal pad voltage or dedicated sensor.
Is the VS pin internally clamped to prevent overvoltage during switching transitions?
Yes - VS has internal 30 V clamp diode to VDD to suppress ringing-induced overshoot during fast dV/dt events, limiting VS excursion to within safe margin of VDD + 30 V as confirmed in IRS21850STRPBF Electrical Characteristics Table.
