Half-bridge gate driver with integrated bootstrap
The Infineon IR21531D is a half-bridge gate driver designed for driving two N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous configuration. It integrates a bootstrap diode for the high-side supply, allowing a single 10 V to 15.6 V bias rail to drive both the low-side and high-side gates. The RC input circuit sets the oscillator frequency and dead-time with external passive components, making it a self-oscillating driver suited for resonant and half-bridge converter topologies.
Switching speed and high-voltage capability
The 600 V maximum bootstrap voltage rating defines the DC bus voltage ceiling for offline supplies and DC bus applications with adequate derating.
