IRS2117STRPBF

IRS2117STRPBF, manufactured by Infineon, is a PNP and N-Channel Enhancement Mode Logic Compatible Gate Driver. This series of driver exists in several variants, but all share the same specifications and features. It is suitable for applications using 5V, 12V or 24V supply volts.

In terms of applications, this series of driver is primarily used in gate drive applications for MOSFETs and IGBTs for motor control, lighting, power management and renewable energy systems. Many fields within the industrial automation sector also benefit from the use of the IRS2117STRPBF as it offers a very good balance between performance, reliability and cost.

The IRS2117STRPBF has several features that make it an excellent solution for various applications. It is capable of providing a high current drive (up to 2A) in a very short on-time. This ensures a high throughput that is well suited for high performance applications. The driver is also highly reliable, as it is EMI protected, protected against voltage transients, and has an integrated over temperature shutdown.

The working principle of IRS2117STRPBF is relatively simple and it operates according to the classic PNP and N- Channel enhancement mode logic. Its input high voltage (Vinh_max ) ranges from 3.3V to 70V and it can drive up to 2A with its output low voltage (Visc_max ), ranging from -77V to 0.6V base on the input voltage. Also, to avoid over-heating of this gate driver, the overview temperature protection can be set to activate at the span of 170 degrees Celsius to avoid any accidental thermal stress issuing.

The IRS2117STRPBF is a great choice when it comes to gate drive applications, as it provides excellent performance, reliability and cost effectiveness. With its high current drive capability, it can be used in a wide range of applications, from power management to motor control systems. Its integrated temperature protection and voltage transients protection ensure that it is safe and reliable in all conditions. Overall, the IRS2117STRPBF is an excellent choice for a variety of gate driver applications.
