The IR2121 is a high speed power MOSFET and Package
IGBT driver with over-current limiting protection cir-
cuitry. Latch immune CMOS technology enables rug-
gedized monolithic construction. Logic inputs are
compatible with standard CMOS or LSTTL outputs,
down to 2.5V logic. The output driver features a
high pulse current buffer stage designed for mini-
mum cross-conduction. The protection circuitry de-
tects over-current in the driven power
transistor and
limits the gate drive voltage. Cycle-by-cycle shutdown is programmed by an external capacitor which
8-Lead PDIP
directly controls the time interval between detection of the over-current limiting condition and latched shut-
down. The output can be used to drive an N-channel power MOSFET or IGBT in the low side configuration.
