The IR2101STRPBF is an integrated circuit (IC) component primarily used in high voltage applications such as motor drives and switch mode power supplies. It is manufactured by Infineon Technologies and belongs to the IR2101 series of ICs. This IC is specially designed to provide efficient gate drive signals to power MOSFETs and IGBTs.
One of the key features of the IR2101STRPBF is its ability to operate with a wide input voltage range, typically from 10V to 20V. This makes it suitable for various power supply applications. With its high voltage output, it can efficiently drive MOSFETs and IGBTs up to 600V. This capability enables it to handle high power levels.
The IC also features a floating channel design, which allows it to be easily configured as a low-side or high-side driver. It can be connected to the ground-referenced ground or directly to the power supply for flexible options. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in applications where both high-side and low-side driving are required.
To ensure reliable operation, the IR2101STRPBF includes a comprehensive set of protections. It has undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection, which prevents the IC from operating when the input voltage is below the specified threshold. Overcurrent protection safeguards the IC and the driven device from excessive current flow, enhancing overall system safety
