The IC component IR2117STRPBF is a high- and low-side driver that is primarily used in driving power MOSFETs and IGBTs. It provides an efficient and reliable solution for various industrial applications such as motor control, power supplies, and general-purpose inverters.
The IR2117STRPBF comes in a small surface mount package and offers multiple key features that enhance its overall performance. Firstly, it operates at a wide voltage range of 10V to 20V, making it suitable for various voltage systems. Additionally, it has a voltage supply range of -0.3V to 20V, allowing flexibility in different power supply configurations.
This IC component integrates both high-side and low-side gate drivers, which enables it to handle half-bridge configurations effectively. The high-side driver uses a bootstrap power supply scheme, which eliminates the need for a separate power supply for the high-side gate driver. This contributes to cost savings and simplifies the overall design.
Furthermore, the IR2117STRPBF has an output current capability of up to 2A, enabling it to drive large power MOSFETs and IGBTs. It also offers an adjustable dead-time feature that allows precise control over the switch timing to avoid shoot-through currents and improve efficiency.
The IC component incorporates thermal shutdown and undervoltage lockout protection mechanisms, safeguarding the system from overtemperature conditions and preventing erratic operations during low voltage situations
