Undervoltage Lockout Protection
This family of ICs provides undervoltage lockout protection on both the V

fault condition, and shutdown the high-side gate drive outputs of the IC.
The UVLO protection ensures that the IC drives the external power devices only when the gate supply voltage is
sufficient to fully enhance the power devices. Without this feature, the gates of the external power switch could be
driven with a low voltage, resulting in the power switch conducting current while the channel impedance is high; this
could result in very high conduction losses within the power device and could lead to power device failure.
Shoot-Through Protection
The IRS2336xD family of high-voltage ICs is equipped with shoot-through protection circuitry (also known as cross-
conduction prevention circuitry). Figure 10 shows how this protection circuitry prevents both the high- and low-side
switches from conducting at the same time. Table 1 illustrates the input/output relationship of the devices in the form
of a truth table. Note that the IRS2336D has inverting inputs (the output is out-of-phase with its respective input)
while the IRS23364D has non-inverting inputs (the output is in-phase with its respective input).
