IRS2118STRPBF datasheet by International Rectifier

IRS2118STRPBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the IRS2118STRPBF?
  The maximum operating frequency of the IRS2118STRPBF is 500 kHz, but it can be operated up to 1 MHz with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure proper thermal management of the IRS2118STRPBF?
  Proper thermal management can be achieved by providing a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 10°C/W, and ensuring good airflow around the device. The PCB layout should also be designed to minimize thermal resistance.
• What is the recommended dead time for the IRS2118STRPBF?
  The recommended dead time for the IRS2118STRPBF is 100-200 ns, but it can be adjusted based on the specific application requirements.
• Can the IRS2118STRPBF be used in a half-bridge configuration?
  Yes, the IRS2118STRPBF can be used in a half-bridge configuration, but it requires an external bootstrap diode and capacitor to ensure proper operation.
• How do I protect the IRS2118STRPBF from overvoltage and undervoltage conditions?
  The IRS2118STRPBF has built-in overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage protection (UVP) circuits, but additional external protection circuits may be required depending on the specific application requirements.
