IR2104S datasheet by International Rectifier

IR2104S Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum voltage rating of the IR2104S?
  The maximum voltage rating of the IR2104S is 600V, but it can be used in applications up to 500V with proper design and layout considerations.
• How do I ensure proper thermal management of the IR2104S?
  Proper thermal management of the IR2104S can be achieved by providing a good thermal path from the device to a heat sink, using thermal interface materials, and ensuring good airflow around the device.
• What is the recommended dead time for the IR2104S?
  The recommended dead time for the IR2104S is typically between 100ns to 500ns, depending on the specific application and switching frequency.
• Can I use the IR2104S in a half-bridge configuration?
  Yes, the IR2104S can be used in a half-bridge configuration, but it requires additional external circuitry to ensure proper operation and to prevent shoot-through currents.
• How do I protect the IR2104S from overcurrent and overvoltage conditions?
  The IR2104S has built-in overcurrent protection, but additional external protection circuits may be required to protect against overvoltage conditions. A fuse or a current-sensing resistor can be used to detect overcurrent conditions.
