IR2106STR

Gate Driver Overview

The IR2106STR is a discontinued high-voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT driver featuring independent high-side and low-side referenced output channels. It utilizes proprietary HVIC technology for robust performance. The component operates with a supply voltage range of 10 V to 20 V and supports a maximum high-side bootstrap voltage of 600 V. It provides peak output currents of 350 mA source and 200 mA sink. Typical rise and fall times are 150 ns and 50 ns, respectively. The device is housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package and functions within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify end-of-life status before design finalization as the IR2106STR is officially obsolete. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements against the specific manufacturing lot, as older batches may not meet current environmental standards. Validate pinout compatibility with replacement components such as the IR2106STRPBF to ensure seamless integration into existing PCB layouts without redesign.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component only if legacy board compatibility is mandatory or for prototyping existing designs. For new developments, consider active alternatives like the IRS2106STRPBF which offers updated specifications and availability. Evaluate the 8-SOIC package thermal characteristics against system heat dissipation requirements. Ensure the 600 V rating aligns with the maximum bus voltage of the target power stage application.
