International Rectifier IR2153 Self-Oscillating Half-Bridge Driver Datasheet
The document is a preliminary data sheet for the IR2153(D)(S) & (PbF), an integrated 600V half-bridge gate driver. It describes features such as true micropower startup, tighter initial deadtime control, and improved noise immunity compared to previous ICs like the IR2155.
The text includes absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, and typical component values for timing resistors and capacitors. Detailed electrical characteristics are provided for low voltage supply, floating supply, oscillator, and gate driver output parameters.
