Description
The IR21541 is an improved version of the popular
IR2152 gate driver IC, and incorporates a high voltage
half-bridge gate driver with a front end oscillator simi-
lar to the industry standard CMOS 555 timer. The
IR21541 provides more functionality and is easier to
use than previous ICs. A shutdown feature has been

designed into the C pin, so that both gate driver out-

puts can be disabled using a low voltage control sig-
nal. In addition, the gate driver output pulse widths are
the same once the rising undervoltage lockout thresh-

stable profile of frequency vs time at startup. Noise im-
munity has been improved significantly, both by low-
ering the peak di/dt of the gate drivers, and by
increasing the undervoltage lockout hysteresis to 1V.
Finally, special attention has been payed to maximiz-
ing the latch immunity of the device, and providing
comprehensive ESD protection on all pins.
