Product details
Overview
IRS4427SPBF 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 6–20 V gate drive supply, 2.3 A source / 3.3 A sink peak output current, matched 50 ns propagation delay per channel, and CMOS/LSTTL-compatible Schmitt-trigger inputs. Used in synchronous buck DC-DC converters for server VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the IRS4427SPBF datasheet, IRS4427SPBF pinout, IRS4427SPBF application, or IRS4427SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level compatibility (3.3 V/5 V), dual-channel timing matching, SOIC-8 thermal performance (RthJA = 200 °C/W), and latch-immune CMOS process robustness under industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C).
Technical Context
The IRS4427SPBF integrates two independent, non-inverting low-side drivers with matched propagation delays (ton/toff = 50 ns typ.) and separate input pins (INA, INB) referenced to COM. Its proprietary latch-immune CMOS process ensures immunity to transient-induced false triggering in noisy power systems.
Each output stage delivers asymmetric peak current (2.3 A source, 3.3 A sink) into capacitive loads up to 1000 pF, with rise/fall times of 25–55 ns. The device operates with fixed VCC bias (6–20 V), requires no external bootstrap components, and supports direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Range | 6 V to 20 V - enables direct use with common intermediate bus voltages (e.g., 12 V rail in telecom PSUs) |
| IO+ / IO− | 2.3 A / 3.3 A - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge 10 nC gate charge in <100 ns for 30–60 V MOSFETs |
| ton / toff | 50 ns typ. - ensures precise dead-time control in synchronous rectification with minimal shoot-through risk |
| Input Logic Compatibility | 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS/LSTTL - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with FPGAs or MCU I/O |
| RthJA | 200 °C/W - defines maximum power dissipation (0.625 W at TA ≤ 25 °C) for SOIC-8 board-mount thermal design |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - validated for industrial ambient conditions per JEDEC Industrial qualification |
Pinout & Package
IRS4427SPBF is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SOIC-8N) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating. Thermal pad is not present; power dissipation relies on PCB copper area under exposed leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INA) | Channel A logic input | CMOS Schmitt-triggered; accepts 0–5 V signals; drives OUTA non-inverting |
| 2 (INB) | Channel B logic input | CMOS Schmitt-triggered; independent of INA; drives OUTB non-inverting |
| 3 (VCC) | Gate drive supply | Provides power to both output stages; bypass capacitor required between VCC and COM |
| 4 (COM) | Ground reference | Common return for inputs, outputs, and VCC; must be low-inductance connection to power ground plane |
| 5 (OUTA) | Channel A output | Low-side driver output; sinks up to 3.3 A, sources up to 2.3 A; connects to MOSFET gate |
| 6 (OUTB) | Channel B output | Low-side driver output; electrically isolated from OUTA; matched timing to OUTA |
| 7 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to COM per layout guidelines |
| 8 (VCC) | Gate drive supply (duplicate) | Second VCC pin for improved supply routing; electrically identical to Pin 3 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latch-immune CMOS process | Prevents unintended output state changes during ESD or dV/dt transients in high-noise motor drive or SMPS environments |
| Matched channel propagation delay | Ensures simultaneous turn-on/turn-off of parallel low-side switches, critical for current-sharing in multiphase VRMs |
| Asymmetric output drive strength | Higher sink current (3.3 A) accelerates MOSFET turn-off, reducing conduction loss during hard-switching transitions |
| Industrial qualification (JEDEC) | Validated for continuous operation at 125 °C junction temperature with MSL2 moisture sensitivity rating |
Applications
| Server Voltage Regulator Modules | Industrial Motor Drives |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Dual-phase synchronous buck converter supplying core voltage to Xeon processors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side driver for two parallel N-channel MOSFETs per phase; provides matched timing to minimize cross-conduction losses.

Use Value: Schmitt-trigger inputs reject noise from adjacent high-current traces, preventing false dimming commands in automotive cabin lighting. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-side gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR2110PbF | High- and low-side driver with bootstrap diode; 10 V–20 V VDD; 2 A output; no Schmitt input | Requires external bootstrap capacitor; suited for half-bridge topologies, not dual low-side only | Select when driving high-side + low-side in same package; avoid for pure dual low-side due to unnecessary complexity |
| LM5112MYX/NOPB | Single-channel, 5 A sink/source; 3.3 V/5 V compatible; 13 ns tpd; SOIC-8 | Single output; higher speed but no channel matching; no industrial temp grade | Choose for ultra-fast single-FET control where timing matching is irrelevant; not suitable for dual-channel synchronized switching |
Compared with IR2110PbF and LM5112MYX/NOPB, IRS4427SPBF uniquely delivers matched dual-channel timing, industrial temperature rating, and Schmitt-trigger noise immunity in a dedicated low-side configuration-making it optimal for multi-phase VRMs and noise-sensitive industrial converters where channel synchronization and reliability are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable VCC voltage for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum VCC rating is 25 V, but the recommended operating range is 6 V to 20 V. Sustained operation above 20 V risks exceeding internal oxide breakdown limits and degrading long-term reliability, especially at elevated temperatures. Designers should maintain VCC ≤ 20 V with ≥10 % margin for ripple and transients.
Can IRS4427SPBF drive GaN HEMTs effectively?
Yes, IRS4427SPBF can drive enhancement-mode GaN HEMTs with gate thresholds below 2.5 V, provided VCC is set to ≥12 V for adequate overdrive and the gate loop inductance is minimized. Its 25 ns rise time and 3.3 A sink capability support typical GaN gate charges of 3–8 nC, though dedicated GaN drivers offer tighter timing control.
Is Pin 7 (NC) safe to tie to ground in PCB layout?
No-Pin 7 is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating. Tying it to ground introduces parasitic capacitance and may disturb internal substrate biasing. Per IR's layout guidelines, NC pins should be left unconnected or covered with solder mask; no trace or copper pour should contact this pad.
Does IRS4427SPBF include built-in undervoltage lockout (UVLO)?
No, IRS4427SPBF does not integrate UVLO circuitry. Operation ceases below VCC = 6 V, but no hysteresis or shutdown flag is provided. System-level UVLO must be implemented externally-e.g., using a supervisor IC monitoring VCC-to prevent erratic output behavior during brownout conditions.
