HIP2101IR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HIP2101IR is a half-bridge gate driver IC manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for driving N-channel MOSFETs in half-bridge configurations. This device operates with a supply voltage range of 9V to 14V and delivers peak output currents of 2A for both source and sink operations. The HIP2101IR is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HIP2101IR is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Driven configuration: Half-bridge topology
• Number of independent drivers: 2 channels
• Gate type: N-channel MOSFET
• Supply voltage range: 9V ~ 14V
• Logic input voltage thresholds: VIL 0.8V, VIH 2.2V
• Peak output current capability: 2A source and 2A sink
• Input signal type: Non-inverting
• Bootstrap voltage rating: 114V maximum
• Rise and fall time specifications: 10ns typical
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 150°C
• Mounting technology: Surface mount

The HIP2101IR4Z qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical performance across all specified parameters. Packaging differences exist between the two variants, which must be evaluated for mechanical compatibility in the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HIP2101IR4Z is the active equivalent for the obsolete HIP2101IR. Both devices deliver identical electrical performance across all specified parameters, including supply voltage, output current, timing characteristics, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification. The HIP2101IR4Z carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and applications requiring current regulatory compliance. The HIP2101IR, classified as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, should be replaced in production environments.

Packaging differences exist: the HIP2101IR uses a 16-QFN (5x5) package, while the HIP2101IR4Z uses a 12-DFN (4x4) package. PCB layout modifications are required to accommodate the different package footprints. The HIP2101IR4Z also specifies a moisture sensitivity level of 3 (168 hours), compared to level 1 for the HIP2101IR, requiring appropriate handling procedures during storage and assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HIP2101IR4Z directly replace the HIP2101IR without circuit modifications?

A: Electrical substitution is direct. All specified electrical parameters are identical. However, the different package footprints (16-QFN versus 12-DFN) require PCB layout redesign. Pin-to-pin compatibility must be verified against the respective datasheets before implementation.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The HIP2101IR4Z is the active production equivalent with ROHS3 compliance and active product status. The HIP2101IR is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Packaging differs: 16-QFN (5x5) versus 12-DFN (4x4). Moisture sensitivity levels differ: MSL 1 versus MSL 3.

Q: Why is the HIP2101IR classified as obsolete?

A: The HIP2101IR has been discontinued by Renesas Electronics Corporation. The HIP2101IR4Z represents the current active product line for this gate driver topology.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both devices operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) and deliver the same electrical performance specifications.

Q: What handling precautions apply to the HIP2101IR4Z?

A: The HIP2101IR4Z specifies MSL 3 (168 hours), requiring moisture control during storage and assembly. Standard ESD precautions for surface-mount components apply.
