Product details
Overview
IRS2980SPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a high-voltage buck LED driver controller IC with hysteretic current regulation, 600 V breakdown voltage, 15.6 V internal zener clamp on VCC, and micropower startup (250 µA). It integrates a high-voltage regulator (up to 450 V), analog/PWM dimming interface (0–2 V or 3.3/5 V logic), and floating high-side differential current sensing for low-side MOSFET control - used in LED retrofit lamps and driver modules.
For engineers reviewing the IRS2980SPBF datasheet, IRS2980SPBF pinout, IRS2980SPBF application, or IRS2980SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VOFFSET, 180 mA/260 mA IO+/IO− drive capability, 15.6 V VCLAMP, hysteretic frequency range (25–120 kHz), and SO8 package compatibility with cost-sensitive AC-input LED drivers.
Technical Context
The IRS2980SPBF implements a self-oscillating hysteretic buck controller with internal high-voltage regulation and floating current-sense level-shifting. Its control loop maintains tightly regulated average LED current by dynamically adjusting switching frequency (25–120 kHz) and duty cycle up to 100% in response to line and load variations.
It features dual UVLO thresholds (VHVS+ = 9.3 V, VHVS− = 7.3 V), programmable RAMP pin timing (15 µA charging current), and integrated 15.6 V zener clamp to protect VCC. The device operates without external protection circuits and supports dimming via analog (0–2 V) or PWM (≤1 kHz) signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Buck converter controller with hysteretic current regulation |
| VOFFSET (Breakdown) | 600 V - withstands transient overvoltage up to 600 V; rated for 450 V continuous HV input |
| VCLAMP | 15.6 V nominal - internal zener limits VCC to safe level; eliminates need for external Zener |
| IO+/IO− | 180 mA source / 260 mA sink - drives low-side N-channel MOSFET gate directly without buffer |
| fMAX | 150 kHz - sets upper bound of hysteretic switching frequency; typical operation 25–120 kHz |
| VCS Threshold | 0.5 V - current-sense comparator reference; defines regulated LED current via RCS |
| Startup Current | 250 µA - enables micropower start-up from bulk capacitor; reduces standby losses |
Pinout & Package
IRS2980SPBF is housed in an SO8 (Small Outline, 8-pin) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads. Thermal pad is not present; PCB copper area under package recommended for thermal relief per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (HV) | High-voltage input | Connects to rectified AC bus (up to 450 V DC); feeds internal HV regulator |
| 2 (VS) | Source sense / floating reference | References high-side current sense; enables differential sensing across CS resistor |
| 3 (COM) | Power and signal ground | Common return for VCC, ADIM, RAMP, CS, OUT; must be low-impedance |
| 4 (ADIM) | Analog/PWM dimming input | Accepts 0–2 V analog or logic-level PWM (≤1 kHz); controls LED brightness 0–100% |
| 5 (RAMP) | Oscillator timing node | Charged at 15 µA; threshold at 2.0 V (shutdown) and 0.2 V (restart) sets frequency |
| 6 (OUT) | Gate driver output | Drives low-side MOSFET gate; 180 mA source / 260 mA sink capability |
| 7 (CS) | Current sense input | Differential input referenced to VS; compares against 0.5 V threshold for hysteretic regulation |
| 8 (VCC) | Internal supply rail | Internally regulated at ~9.9 V; clamped at 15.6 V; powers logic and gate driver |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic current regulation | Eliminates external error amplifier and compensation network; simplifies design and improves transient response |
| Floating high-side differential current sense | Enables accurate sensing with low-side switch topology; avoids high-side gate driver complexity and cost |
| Integrated 450 V HV regulator | Derives VCC directly from HV bus; removes need for auxiliary winding or linear regulator |
| 15.6 V internal zener clamp | Protects VCC from overvoltage during transients; replaces discrete Zener diode and series resistor |
| Micropower startup (250 µA) | Reduces energy draw during initial power-up; supports compliance with low-standby-power standards |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRS2541SPBF | Fixed-frequency (500 kHz) current-mode controller; requires external VCC supply; no integrated HV regulator | Designed for isolated flyback topologies; lacks hysteretic simplicity and HV bootstrap capability | Select when higher switching frequency and transformer isolation are required; adds BOM cost and complexity |
| MP4007GN | 65 V max VIN; requires external HV startup circuit; 0.25 V current-sense threshold; SO8 package | Targeted at low-line (<120 VAC) non-isolated buck drivers; not rated for universal AC input | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-input-voltage designs where 450 V HV capability is unnecessary |
Compared with IRS2541SPBF and MP4007GN, the IRS2980SPBF uniquely combines 450 V HV regulation, hysteretic simplicity, and SO8 integration - making it optimal for universal-input, non-isolated LED retrofit drivers where component count and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous input voltage the IRS2980SPBF can handle?
The IRS2980SPBF is rated for continuous high-voltage input up to 450 V DC on the HV pin, limited by internal regulator power dissipation. It can withstand transient voltages up to 600 V for short durations, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above 375 V requires careful thermal design per datasheet Section 6.
Does the IRS2980SPBF require an external VCC supply?
No. The IRS2980SPBF includes an integrated high-voltage regulator that derives VCC directly from the HV pin, eliminating the need for an auxiliary winding or external linear regulator. VCC is internally regulated to ~9.9 V and clamped at 15.6 V, enabling true single-supply operation from rectified AC bus.
Can the IRS2980SPBF support both analog and PWM dimming simultaneously?
No - the ADIM pin accepts either analog voltage (0–2 V) or logic-level PWM (3.3 V or 5 V, ≤1 kHz), but not both simultaneously. The internal circuitry interprets the signal type based on amplitude and duty cycle; mixing signal types may cause unstable dimming behavior or loss of regulation.
What is the purpose of the RAMP pin, and how is it used in design?
The RAMP pin sets the hysteretic oscillator frequency by controlling the charge time of an external capacitor. A 15 µA internal current charges the capacitor until it reaches 2.0 V (shuts off switching), then discharges to 0.2 V (restarts). Frequency is adjusted by selecting CRAMP; typical values range from 100 pF to 1 nF for 25–120 kHz operation.
