Half-bridge gate driver for 200 V bus rails
The Infineon IRS2005STRPBF is a half-bridge gate driver for IGBTs and N-channel MOSFETs. Its bootstrap supply handles up to 200 V on the high side. Supply range is 10 V to 20 V. The 8-SOIC package keeps board area small.
The 150°C TJ ceiling means no external derating is required for most enclosed inverter designs.
Switching performance and dead-time planning
The 70 ns rise and 30 ns fall times are asymmetric — the turn-off edge is roughly twice as fast as turn-on. That matters for dead-time: you need to ensure the low-side gate has fully discharged before the high-side turns on, or vice versa, to avoid shoot-through. The faster fall gives you margin on the turn-off side, but the turn-on edge still sets the minimum dead-time window. In practice, with a 600 mA sink, the driver pulls the gate down hard; the 290 mA source is gentler on the bootstrap capacitor recharge.
