HIP2211 and HIP2210 – High Frequency 100V Half-Bridge MOSFET Drivers for 48V Applications

Renesas Electronic Corporations have introduced HIP2211 and HIP2210 a new pair of 100V half-bridge MOSFET drivers that are ideal for 48V telecom power supplies, Class-D audio amplifiers, solar inverters, and UPS inverters. They can also be used to power the demanding 48V motor drives found in Li-ion battery-powered household and outdoor products, water pumps, and cooling fans.

Among these two devices, the HIP2211 is a next-generation pin-compatible upgrade to Renesas’ popular ISL2111 bridge drive, whereas the HIP2210 provides a tri-level PWM input to simplify power supply and motor driver design. These new devices were designed for reliable operation under difficult operating conditions, with the high speed, high-voltage HS pin tolerating up to  -10V continuously, and slewing as quickly as 50V/ns. 

The HIP2210’s programmable anti-shoot-through protection and Undervoltage protection helps to make sure that the driven MOSFETs are not damaged due to power supply or other external fault conditions. The HIP2210 and HIP2211 are designed to complement Renesas microcontrollers in advanced DC/DC and brushless motor drive systems. The HIP2211 and HIP2210 are available now from Renesas’ worldwide distributors, both priced at $1.30 USD in 1,000-unit quantities. The HIP2211 is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC and a 10-lead 4mm x 4mm TDFN package. The HIP2210 is supplied in a 10-lead 4mm x 4mm TDFN package.

Features of HIP2211 and HIP2210

• 115VDC bootstrap supply maximum voltage (120V HS absolute maximum) supports 100V on the half-bridge
• Feature strong 3A source, 4A sink drivers with very fast 15ns typical propagation delay and 2ns typical delay matching
• Wide VDD voltage operating range of 6V to 18V (20V absolute maximum)
• HS pin tolerates up to -10V and 50V/ns slew rates
• Integrated 0.5Ω typical bootstrap diode eliminates external discrete diodes
• VDD and boot UVLO prevent low gate voltage drive to the NFETs
• Adjustable dead time delay via RDT pin (HIP2210 only) prevents shoot-through conditions, adjustable from 35ns to 350ns with a single resistor
