Product details
Overview
IRS2980STRPBF from Infineon (formerly International Rectifier) is a high-voltage buck LED driver controller IC with hysteretic current regulation, 600 V breakdown tolerance, 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, up to 1 kHz), and floating high-side differential current sense for low-side MOSFET control - used in LED retrofit lamps and driver modules.
For engineers reviewing the IRS2980STRPBF datasheet, IRS2980STRPBF pinout, IRS2980STRPBF application, or IRS2980STRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VOFFSET, 180 mA/260 mA IO+/IO− gate drive capability, 0.5 V current-sense threshold with 100 mV hysteresis, 150 kHz max switching frequency, and SO8 package compatibility with thermal relief design requirements.
Technical Context
The IRS2980STRPBF implements a self-oscillating hysteretic current control architecture operating from 25 kHz to 120 kHz (max 150 kHz), where frequency and duty cycle dynamically adjust to maintain tight average LED current regulation across line and load variations. Its floating high-side sensing and level-shift scheme enables accurate current monitoring without external shunts or isolated supplies.
It features an integrated HV regulator (VHV input up to 450 V DC, transient-rated to 600 V), UVLO thresholds of 9.3 V (rising) and 7.3 V (falling) on the high-side well, and a programmable RAMP pin with 15 µA charging current and 2.0 V/0.2 V shutdown/restart thresholds - enabling robust dimming control and fault recovery without external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOFFSET | 600 V - withstands transient overvoltage up to 600 V, enabling direct connection to rectified AC mains in offline LED drivers |
| VHV Max (DC) | 450 V - maximum continuous high-voltage input for internal regulator operation; requires thermal management above 375 V |
| IO+/IO− | 180 mA / 260 mA - peak source/sink gate drive current supports fast turn-on/turn-off of low-side MOSFETs in buck topology |
| VCS Threshold | 0.5 V - precise current-sense reference voltage; combined with hysteresis enables stable hysteretic regulation |
| VCLAMP | 15.6 V ±1.0 V - internal zener clamp protects VCC pin; eliminates need for external Zener diode or LDO |
| fMAX | 150 kHz - maximum switching frequency sets upper bound for inductor size and EMI filter design |
| IQCCUV | 250 µA - ultra-low startup current allows direct bootstrap from high-impedance HV rail without auxiliary supply |
Pinout & Package
IRS2980STRPBF is housed in an SO8 (Small Outline 8-pin) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, and exposed thermal pad (non-electrical). Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pin numbering follows counter-clockwise convention from pin 1.
| 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 and level-shift circuitry |
| 2 (VS) | Source reference for high-side sense | Return node for floating current-sense amplifier; referenced to COM during low-side switch conduction |
| 3 (COM) | Power and signal ground | Common reference for all low-voltage signals, VCC, ADIM, RAMP, CS, and OUT outputs |
| 4 (ADIM) | Analog/PWM dimming input | Accepts 0–2 V analog or 3.3/5 V logic PWM (≤1 kHz); controls LED brightness from 0% to 100% |
| 5 (RAMP) | Internal oscillator ramp node | Charged at 15 µA; triggers shutdown at 2.0 V and restart at 0.2 V - sets switching frequency and dimming response |
| 6 (OUT) | Gate drive output | Drives low-side N-channel MOSFET gate; 180 mA source / 260 mA sink capability with <220 ns rise time |
| 7 (CS) | Current sense input | Receives differential voltage across sense resistor; 0.5 V threshold with 100 mV hysteresis enables hysteretic regulation |
| 8 (VCC) | Internal regulator output | Supplies internal circuitry; clamped at 15.6 V; powered by internal HV regulator or external source |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic current regulation | Eliminates need for external error amplifier, compensation network, or clock generator - reduces BOM count and design iteration time |
| Floating high-side differential current sense | Enables accurate LED current measurement without shunt resistor on high-voltage side or optocoupler isolation |
| Integrated 450 V HV regulator | Derives VCC directly from rectified AC bus; removes auxiliary winding or capacitive dropper supply in offline designs |
| Programmable RAMP pin | Allows frequency tuning and dimming response shaping via external capacitor; simplifies EMI compliance and flicker mitigation |
| 15.6 V internal zener clamp | Protects VCC against overvoltage without discrete Zener; improves reliability and board space efficiency |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP4005GQ-Z | Fixed-frequency (500 kHz) current-mode PWM controller; requires external error amp and compensation; no integrated HV regulator | Requires auxiliary VCC supply and more external components; better suited for high-efficiency, low-EMI designs with tight ripple specs | Select when higher switching frequency and tighter current tolerance (<±3%) are required over simplicity and cost |
| AL1676-2S | Hysteretic buck controller with 650 V rating; includes built-in 10 Ω gate driver; lacks analog dimming input (PWM only) | No analog dimming support; optimized for cost-sensitive, non-dimmable LED tubes and bulbs | Select for non-dimmable, high-volume retrofit lamps where analog control is unnecessary and gate drive strength is critical |
Compared with MP4005GQ-Z and AL1676-2S, the IRS2980STRPBF uniquely combines hysteretic simplicity, integrated HV regulation, and dual analog/PWM dimming in one SO8 package - making it optimal for fast-turnaround, thermally constrained, dimmable offline LED drivers.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous input voltage for IRS2980STRPBF?
The IRS2980STRPBF supports a maximum continuous high-voltage input (VHV) of 450 V DC, as limited by internal regulator power dissipation. While the device is rated for 600 V transient withstand, sustained operation above 450 V requires external thermal management per datasheet Section 5 and thermal relief PCB layout.
Can IRS2980STRPBF operate without an external VCC supply?
Yes - the IRS2980STRPBF integrates a high-voltage regulator that derives VCC directly from the HV pin (up to 450 V), enabling full operation without an auxiliary supply. Startup current is only 250 µA, allowing reliable bootstrap from high-impedance rectified AC rails using a simple resistive divider or capacitive dropper.
What dimming interfaces does IRS2980STRPBF support?
The IRS2980STRPBF supports both analog dimming (0–2 V DC applied to ADIM pin) and PWM dimming (3.3 V or 5 V logic-level signal up to 1 kHz). The internal dimming circuit maps input voltage or duty cycle linearly to LED current, achieving 0–100% brightness control without external DACs or microcontrollers.
Is IRS2980STRPBF still in production?
No - Infineon declared IRS2980STRPBF End-of-Life (EOL) effective October 15, 2015. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified, traceable inventory with full lot traceability and extended lifecycle support for legacy design continuity and repair programs.
