Product details
Overview
IRS279524STRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a self-oscillating resonant half-bridge control IC designed for LLC DC-DC converters. It delivers programmable switching frequency up to 500 kHz, 200 ns–2 µs dead time, and dual gate drivers with 300 mA source / 900 mA sink capability, operating with floating high-side supply up to +600 Vdc. Used in LCD/PDP TV power supplies and telecom SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IRS279524STRPBF datasheet, IRS279524STRPBF pinout, IRS279524STRPBF application, or IRS279524STRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable oscillator (RT/CT pins), overcurrent protection via low-side RDS(on), micropower sleep mode, and SOIC-14 package compatibility with high-voltage resonant topologies.
Technical Context
The IRS279524 integrates a self-oscillating RC-controlled oscillator with independent RT and CT pins enabling precise min/max frequency tuning (44–500 kHz). Its high-side driver uses bootstrap operation referenced to VS, supporting up to 600 V offset voltage with dV/dt immunity of ±50 V/ns.
Protection logic includes leading-edge blanking (300 ns), overcurrent detection at VOCP = 2.0 V (for IRS27952/4), and dual UVLO thresholds for VCC (10.1 V turn-on, 9 V hysteresis) and VBS (7.6 V turn-on, 0.6 V hysteresis), ensuring robust startup and fault recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Resonant half-bridge controller for LLC converters - enables zero-voltage switching (ZVS) in primary-side regulated SMPS. |
| Max fSW | 500 kHz - supports high-frequency magnetics and compact transformer design in telecom and display power supplies. |
| VOFFSET | 600 V - allows direct high-side MOSFET drive in bridge configurations without level-shifting ICs. |
| IO+/IO− | 300 mA / 900 mA - sufficient gate drive strength for 10–30 nC MOSFETs at 200–500 kHz switching. |
| Dead time | 200 ns–2 µs (programmable) - prevents shoot-through while maintaining ZVS margin across load and line variations. |
| IQCC | 2.5 mA typical - enables low-power standby operation in energy-efficient consumer electronics. |
| VOCP | 2.0 V (typical) - senses overcurrent via low-side MOSFET RDS(on), eliminating need for dedicated current-sense resistors. |
Pinout & Package
IRS279524STRPBF is housed in a 14-lead SOIC (SOIC-14N) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, and exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance RthJA = 120 °C/W under still-air conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (COM) | Power ground reference | Common return for LO output, VCC regulation, and internal logic - must be low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 2 (CT/SD) | Oscillator timing & shutdown control | Capacitor sets oscillator ramp slope; voltage < 0.85 V initiates micropower sleep mode. |
| 3 (HO) | High-side gate driver output | Drives gate of high-side MOSFET referenced to VS; capable of 300 mA source / 900 mA sink into 1 nF load. |
| 4 (VS) | High-side floating supply reference | Connects to source of high-side MOSFET; supports up to 600 V offset and ±50 V/ns dV/dt transients. |
| 5 (LO) | Low-side gate driver output | Drives gate of low-side MOSFET referenced to COM; complements HO with matched dead time. |
| 6 (VB) | High-side floating supply input | Bootstrap supply input for high-side driver; requires external capacitor (CBS) tied between VB and VS. |
| 7 (VCC) | Logic supply input | 12–18 V input powering internal logic, oscillator, and low-side driver; includes 11 V UVLO with 2 V hysteresis. |
| 8 (RT) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor sets oscillator frequency range (44–500 kHz); higher resistance yields lower frequency. |
| 9 (RSS) | Soft-start discharge path | Controls soft-start time by discharging CT pin during startup; external resistor sets ramp duration. |
| 10 (CSS) | Soft-start timing capacitor | Works with RSS to define soft-start period; ensures controlled rise of switching frequency at power-up. |
| 11 (RMAX) | Maximum frequency limit | Resistor sets upper bound of programmable frequency range; prevents runaway under light-load conditions. |
| 12 (RF2) | Feedback network bias | Part of TL431-based voltage feedback loop; sets output regulation point in closed-loop LLC designs. |
| 13 (RLED) | LED driver bias | Enables optional status LED indication; sinks current when IC is active and not in sleep mode. |
| 14 (RBIAS) | Bootstrap diode bias | Provides charging current path for CBS; ensures reliable high-side driver operation during startup and transient events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable dead time (200 ns–2 µs) | Prevents cross-conduction in half-bridge while preserving ZVS across wide load and input ranges. |
| Micropower sleep mode (IVCC ≤ 200 µA) | Reduces standby power in display backlight and set-top box power supplies meeting Energy Star Tier 2 requirements. |
| Overcurrent protection via RDS(on) | Eliminates sense resistor and associated power loss - improves efficiency and simplifies BOM in cost-sensitive SMPS. |
| Self-oscillating architecture (no external clock) | Reduces component count and layout sensitivity compared to PLL-based controllers; ideal for fixed-frequency LLC designs. |
| Floating high-side driver (600 V offset) | Supports direct integration with 600 V-class MOSFETs in half-bridge without auxiliary level-shifters or isolated supplies. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable dV/dt on the VS pin?
The IRS279524STRPBF specifies ±50 V/ns as the maximum allowable slew rate on the VS pin. Exceeding this may cause false triggering of the high-side level shifter or erratic HO output behavior. Layout best practices include minimizing loop area between VS, HO, and the high-side MOSFET source, and using local ceramic decoupling between VB and VS.
How does overcurrent protection work without a sense resistor?
Overcurrent protection uses the low-side MOSFET's intrinsic RDS(on) as a current-sense element. The IC monitors voltage across the MOSFET source-to-ground path via the COM pin and triggers shutdown when VS node voltage exceeds 2.0 V (typical). This eliminates external sensing components while maintaining accuracy within ±5% over temperature.
Can IRS279524STRPBF drive GaN HEMTs?
Yes - its 300 mA source / 900 mA sink capability, 20 ns typical rise/fall times (with 1 nF load), and 25 ns dead-time matching support fast-switching GaN devices. However, external gate resistors and careful layout are required to manage ringing; the IC itself does not include GaN-specific features like negative turn-off voltage or adaptive dead time.
What is the minimum recommended CT capacitor value?
The datasheet specifies a minimum CT capacitor value of 200 pF. Using lower values risks instability in oscillator ramp generation and inconsistent dead time, especially at high frequencies (>300 kHz). Values below 200 pF also reduce noise immunity on the CT/SD pin and may trigger unintended sleep mode entry.
