Product details

Overview

IRS2336C from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-speed 6-channel gate driver IC for half-bridge configurations, featuring 600 V high-side and low-side output capability, ±250 mA peak source/sink current, and integrated bootstrap diode. It drives N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in motor control inverters and industrial power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the IRS2336C datasheet, IRS2336C pinout, IRS2336C application, or IRS2336C equivalent, key selection criteria include high-side floating supply tolerance, propagation delay matching (typ. 120 ns), undervoltage lockout thresholds (V_B UVLO = 9.5 V, V_CC UVLO = 10.5 V), and thermal shutdown with hysteresis.

Technical Context

The IRS2336C integrates three independent high-side and three low-side drivers in a single SOIC-28 package, each channel supporting independent input logic (CMOS/TTL compatible) and dedicated dead-time control via external RC networks. It employs level-shifting circuitry to sustain high-side operation up to 600 V DC bus voltage with dV/dt immunity >50 V/ns.

Internal protection includes cross-conduction prevention logic, under-voltage lockout on both V_B and V_CC rails, and thermal shutdown with automatic recovery. No external bootstrap capacitors are required due to integrated fast-recovery bootstrap diodes per high-side channel.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Output Voltage Rating	600 V high-side floating output - enables direct drive of 600 V-class IGBTs/MOSFETs without external level-shift isolation.
Peak Output Current	±250 mA - sufficient to charge/discharge 1 nF gate capacitance in <100 ns for fast switching at 20–100 kHz.
Propagation Delay Match	±10 ns max between channels - ensures synchronized switching across all three half-bridges, critical for low THD in 3-phase motor control.
V_B UVLO Threshold	9.5 V (rising), 8.5 V (falling) - prevents erratic high-side turn-on during bootstrap capacitor recharge transients.
Operating Temperature	−40°C to +125°C ambient - supports deployment in enclosed industrial drives without forced cooling.
Input Logic Compatibility	CMOS/TTL - allows direct interface with microcontrollers, FPGAs, or PWM controllers without level-shifting circuitry.

Pinout & Package

IRS2336C is housed in a 28-pin SOIC wide-body package (SOIC-28W) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation. Pin pitch is 1.27 mm; package outline conforms to JEDEC MS-013AC.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
V_CC	Low-side supply rail	Provides bias for all low-side drivers and logic core; must be stable 12–20 V.
V_B	High-side floating supply	Bootstrap-supplied rail for high-side drivers; internal diode charges external bootstrap capacitor.
HIN1–HIN3	High-side input	Inverting TTL/CMOS inputs controlling high-side outputs HO1–HO3.
LIN1–LIN3	Low-side input	Non-inverting TTL/CMOS inputs controlling low-side outputs LO1–LO3.
HO1–HO3	High-side gate outputs	600 V-rated outputs driving gates of high-side switches; each has dedicated bootstrap path.
LO1–LO3	Low-side gate outputs	Ground-referenced outputs with ±250 mA drive strength for low-side switch gates.
V_S	High-side return	Reference node for high-side drivers; tied to phase-leg mid-point in inverter leg configuration.
COM	Low-side common	Ground reference for low-side drivers and logic; must be low-inductance connection to power ground.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Integrated Bootstrap Diodes	Eliminates six external diodes per half-bridge, reducing BOM count and PCB area in 3-phase inverter designs.
Matched Propagation Delays	Ensures <±10 ns skew across all six channels, enabling precise 120° phase alignment in BLDC and PMSM motor commutation.
Dual UVLO Protection	Independent monitoring of V_B and V_CC prevents shoot-through during supply brownouts or bootstrap failure.
Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis	Activates at 150°C junction temperature and resets at 135°C, preventing thermal runaway during overload conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge gate driver applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
IR2110S	Single high-/low-side pair; no integrated bootstrap diodes; requires external diodes and higher V_CC (10–20 V).	Limited to single half-bridge; not suitable for 3-phase without duplication and inter-channel skew.	Select when cost-sensitive single-channel designs dominate and layout space permits external diodes.
IRS21844SPbF	4-channel (2 half-bridges); same 600 V rating but only two high-side drivers; no thermal shutdown.	Supports only dual-phase or single 3-phase with external timing; lacks thermal protection for sustained overload.	Choose for dual-motor or dual-inverter systems where thermal margin is managed externally.

Compared with IR2110S and IRS21844SPbF, IRS2336C delivers full 3-phase integration, integrated bootstrap diodes, and thermal shutdown-reducing design complexity, component count, and failure modes in compact industrial inverters.

FAQ

What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for IRS2336C?

The IRS2336C supports reliable operation up to 100 kHz, validated by Infineon's characterization data at 25°C ambient with 1 nF capacitive load and 1.2 Ω gate resistance. At 50 kHz, typical propagation delay remains within ±10 ns match across channels, ensuring clean commutation in BLDC motors. Thermal derating applies above 85°C case temperature.

Does IRS2336C require external bootstrap capacitors?

Yes, IRS2336C requires one external bootstrap capacitor per high-side channel (three total), connected between V_B and V_S. The integrated bootstrap diodes eliminate the need for external diodes but do not replace the capacitor's energy storage function. Typical value is 0.1 µF X7R ceramic with low ESR, placed close to the V_B/V_S pins.

How does the nFAULT pin operate?

The nFAULT pin is an open-drain output that pulls low during UVLO on V_B or V_CC, thermal shutdown, or cross-conduction detection. It remains latched low until reset by toggling any input (HINx or LINx). This enables system-level fault logging and safe shutdown sequencing without additional supervision circuitry.

Can IRS2336C drive SiC MOSFETs?

IRS2336C can drive 650 V SiC MOSFETs in hard-switched topologies up to 50 kHz, provided gate resistors limit dI/dt to avoid overshoot. Its ±250 mA drive strength and 120 ns propagation delay are compatible, but designers must verify Miller plateau crossing behavior and add negative turn-off bias if required-SiC-specific gate drivers like 1ED34xx offer optimized features for >100 kHz SiC operation.
