NRND2,650 in stock

Overview

The IR2184PBF is a high-voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT half-bridge driver with independent high- and low-side referenced output channels. It features a floating high-side channel that can operate up to 600V, making it suitable for driving N-channel power MOSFETs or IGBTs in high-side configurations.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers a high output drive current of 1.8A and integrated deadtime control to prevent shoot-through current in half-bridge configurations. It includes a shutdown input (SD) that turns off both channels simultaneously for system protection and simplifies logic interfacing with 3.3V, 5V, and 15V input compatibility.

Applications

Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor Drives
Used in the power stage to drive the high and low-side FETs of a three-phase bridge.
DC-to-AC Inverters
Provides the necessary gate drive levels for power transistors in pure sine wave or modified sine wave inverters.
Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
Acts as the driver stage for half-bridge or full-bridge converter topologies.
Class-D Audio Amplifiers
Handles the rapid switching required for high-efficiency power amplification stages.

Getting Started

To use the IR2184PBF, provide a VCC supply between 10V and 20V and use a bootstrap capacitor and diode to power the high-side floating channel. Ensure the SD pin is pulled high for normal operation, and route gate traces with minimal inductance to prevent ringing at the 1.8A peak current levels.
