Product details
Overview
IRS4427PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a dual low-side gate driver IC designed to drive power MOSFETs and IGBTs in high-speed switching applications. It features two independent CMOS/Schmitt-triggered inputs, 6–20 V gate drive supply range, matched 50 ns propagation delays per channel, and output currents of 2.3 A (source) / 3.3 A (sink), used in DC-DC converters and motor control half-bridge stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRS4427PBF datasheet, IRS4427PBF pinout, IRS4427PBF application, or IRS4427PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level compatibility (3.3 V/5 V), dual-channel timing matching, thermal resistance (125 °C/W), industrial-grade qualification, and PDIP-8 through-hole package suitability for prototyping and industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
The IRS4427PBF integrates two independent low-side drivers with latch-immune CMOS technology, enabling robust operation under noisy industrial conditions. Each channel delivers 2.3 A peak source and 3.3 A peak sink current into capacitive loads, with propagation delays tightly matched at 50 ns (typ) and rise/fall times of 25–55 ns.
It operates from a single 6–20 V supply referenced to COM, accepts logic inputs from 0 V to VCC, and maintains rail-to-rail output swing. Input thresholds are VIH ≥ 2.5 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, ensuring reliable interfacing with microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 6 V to 20 V - supports direct connection to common gate-drive rails (e.g., 12 V or 15 V systems) without external regulation |
| IO+ / IO− | 2.3 A / 3.3 A - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge gate capacitance of medium-power MOSFETs (e.g., Qg ≈ 20–40 nC) |
| ton/toff | 50 ns (typ) - enables >5 MHz switching frequency capability in hard-switched topologies |
| Input Compatibility | 3.3 V & 5 V CMOS/LSTTL - eliminates need for external logic translators when driven by MCU GPIO or FPGA outputs |
| RthJA | 125 °C/W - defines maximum power dissipation (1 W at TA ≤ 25 °C) for thermal design in PDIP-8 PCB layouts |
| Qualification | JEDEC Industrial Level - validated for continuous operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, suitable for industrial motor drives |
Pinout & Package
IRS4427PBF is housed in an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-8) with through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from top-left corner when viewed from top with notch on left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INA) | Channel A input | CMOS/Schmitt-triggered logic input; accepts 0–VCC signals; no external pull-up required |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for logic inputs, outputs, and supply; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 3 (OUTA) | Channel A output | Low-side driver output; sinks up to 3.3 A and sources up to 2.3 A; connects directly to MOSFET gate |
| 4 (VCC) | Gate drive supply | Single positive supply input (6–20 V); powers both output stages; bypass capacitor recommended near pin |
| 5 (VCC) | Gate drive supply (redundant) | Dual VCC pins reduce supply path impedance; both must be connected to same rail |
| 6 (OUTB) | Channel B output | Independent low-side driver output; identical specs to OUTA; enables synchronous dual-switch control |
| 7 (INB) | Channel B input | Independent logic input; phase-aligned with INB; supports separate PWM or enable signals per channel |
| 8 (COM) | Power ground | High-current return path for output stages; separate from logic GND (pin 2) in layout to avoid noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latch-immune CMOS process | Prevents unintended state changes during ESD or voltage transients-critical for reliability in industrial environments |
| Matched propagation delay | ≤5 ns inter-channel skew (50 ns typ) ensures precise timing alignment in dual-phase or interleaved converter topologies |
| High peak output current | 3.3 A sink capability reduces MOSFET turn-off time, minimizing switching losses in 100 kHz–1 MHz applications |
| Logic-compatible inputs | No external biasing needed for 3.3 V or 5 V controllers-simplifies interface design and reduces BOM count |
| Industrial qualification | Validated per JEDEC JESD22-A114/A115 and JESD78-ensures long-term stability in temperature-cycled industrial equipment |
Applications
| DC-DC Synchronous Buck Converter | Brushless DC Motor Half-Bridge Driver |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2110PBF | Includes high-side driver with bootstrap diode; wider VCC range (10–20 V); higher RthJA (130 °C/W) | Suitable for half-bridge configurations requiring integrated high-side drive; not pin-compatible | Select when needing self-contained high/low-side control and can accommodate larger footprint and higher thermal resistance |
| LM5112MYX/NOPB | Single-channel, higher peak current (5 A sink/source); faster tr/tf (12 ns); requires dual ICs for two channels | Better suited for ultra-high-frequency (>2 MHz) GaN or SiC gate driving; lacks built-in Schmitt trigger | Choose for advanced wide-bandgap designs where speed outweighs integration and cost; requires external hysteresis for noise immunity |
Compared with IR2110PBF, IRS4427PBF offers simpler dual low-side control with lower thermal resistance and inherent noise immunity; versus LM5112MYX/NOPB, it trades raw speed for integration, logic compatibility, and industrial qualification-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, noise-prone 100–500 kHz industrial power stages.

FAQ
Can IRS4427PBF drive high-side N-channel MOSFETs?
No. IRS4427PBF is a dedicated dual low-side driver with outputs referenced to COM (power ground). It lacks high-side floating supply capability or level-shifting circuitry. To drive high-side N-MOSFETs, use a bootstrap-based driver like IR2110 or add an isolated gate driver stage.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency when driving a 10 nF gate load?
With 50 ns typical propagation delay and 25–55 ns rise/fall times, IRS4427PBF supports reliable operation up to ~1 MHz for moderate gate charges. For a 10 nF load, switching losses increase significantly above 500 kHz; thermal limits (1 W max at 25 °C) require careful PCB copper area and airflow management.
Is the PDIP-8 package RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. IRS4427PBF is explicitly marked "Leadfree, RoHS compliant" in the official datasheet. The PDIP-8 package uses matte tin plating over copper leads and meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, including Pb content < 0.1 wt%.
How should COM and GND pins be routed on the PCB?
COM (pin 8) carries high pulsed output currents and must connect directly to the power ground plane with minimal trace length and width. GND (pin 2) serves logic reference and should tie to the digital ground plane, then join COM at a single-point star ground near the device to prevent noise coupling into input signals.
