Higher Efficiency
Modern washers, fans, air conditioners and pump manufacturers require state-ofthe-art electronic components to deliver more and more features to the end user. The
aim is to create an energy-efficient appliance, in less time without increasing the
overall system cost.
The IRS2336(4)(D) from International Rectifier is a high-voltage, high speed power
MOSFET and IGBT driver with three independent high- and low-side referenced output
channels for three-phase applications. The bootstrap diode functionality has been
integrated into this device to reduce the component count and PCB size. A current
trip function which terminates all six outputs can be derived from an external current
sense resistor.

Separate logic and power grounds

3.3 V input logic compatible
Tolerant to negative transient voltage
Designed for use with bootstrap
power supplies
Matched propagation delays for all channels
-40C to 125C operating range
RoHS compliant

Typical Applications
Appliance motor drives
Servo drives
Micro inverter drives
General purpose three phase inverters

Increased Reliability
The IRS2336(4)(D) from International Rectifier is part of the latest
family of gate drivers designed to be the most rugged in the
market for hard switching environments such as motion control
circuits. The typical problem in voltage source inverters with
inductive loads (as in the motor control domain) is that the hard
switching generates negative voltage spikes whose amplitude
and duration depend on the switches and on the layout of the
application PCB. Each of these spikes occurs at PWM frequency,
so in some operating conditions, they can occur 16000 times per
second. In the IRS2336(4)(D) datasheet, the Safe Operating Area
for these HVICs under these conditions are specified.

In addition to improved filtering techniques, the IRS2336(4)(D)

also guarantees outstanding matching in propagation time on
all channels as well as deadtime automatically inserted when
external deadtime is lower than a minimum safe limit.

Cost-effectiveness
While including all features in the design of their new rugged
family of motion gate drivers, International Rectifier considered
the overall system cost requirements of its customers, so
the IRS2336(4)(D) includes many features that are required
in the latest generation applications while keeping external
component count to a minimum. With fewer components and
field returns, the overall system cost is kept low compared to
other solutions.

Reduced component count because the high voltage clamping diodes used in other solutions
are no longer necessary;

Input filters have been re-designed to prevent small

pulse commands reaching the gates of the switches
in the inverter. This is one of the sources of problems
in the field and usually it is difficult to find. The
typical effect is that sometimes inverters return from
the field damaged with one destroyed leg without
an apparent root cause. The IRS2336(4)(D) embeds
filters that solve this issue.
