• Manufacturer Part Number: irs2609d
• Description: Half-bridge Driver
• Manufacturer: International Rectifier Corp.

Application Information and Additional Details
I
IGBT/MOSFET Gate Drive
The IRS2609D HVICs are designed to drive MOSFET or IGBT power devices. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate several parameters
associated with the gate drive functionality of the HVIC. The output current of the HVIC, used to drive the gate of the power switch, is
defined as I
for the low-side power switch; this parameter is sometimes generically called V
high-side or low-side output voltage.
