IR2117 High-Side Gate Driver IC - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IR2117 is a high-side gate driver IC designed for driving IGBT and N-channel MOSFET applications in power management circuits. This component operates as a non-inverting single-channel driver with a bootstrap supply configuration, supporting gate voltages up to 600V. The IR2117 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for new designs and production continuity. The IR2117PBF represents the direct active equivalent from International Rectifier, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current production availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IR2117 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Driven Configuration: Must be High-Side
• Channel Type: Must be Single
• Gate Type: Must support IGBT and N-Channel MOSFET
• Supply Voltage Range: Must be 10V ~ 20V
• Logic Voltage Levels: VIL and VIH must match 6V and 9.5V respectively
• Peak Output Current: Source 250mA and Sink 500mA
• Input Logic: Must be Non-Inverting
• Bootstrap Voltage Rating: Must support 600V maximum
• Switching Speed: Rise/Fall times must be 80ns and 40ns
• Package: Must be 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) for Through Hole mounting
• Temperature Range: Must support -40°C ~ 150°C operating range

The IR2117PBF meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IR2117PBF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete IR2117. Both parts are manufactured under the same base product number (IR2117) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The IR2117PBF carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and production support. The IR2117 is classified as RoHS non-compliant, while compliance status for IR2117PBF is not specified in the provided data. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8542.39.0001) classifications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and compliance requirements specific to the application and target market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IR2117PBF be used as a direct replacement for IR2117?

A: Yes. The IR2117PBF is a direct equivalent part with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share the same base product number and support identical gate driver configurations, supply voltages, output currents, and package form factor.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for substitution?

A: Substitution is valid when the replacement part maintains the same high-side gate driver configuration, single-channel topology, 10V–20V supply voltage range, 6V/9.5V logic levels, 250mA/500mA peak output current ratings, 600V bootstrap voltage rating, and 8-DIP through-hole package. Any deviation in these parameters invalidates substitution.

Q: Are there package alternatives available?

A: The provided data specifies only the 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package for both the IR2117 and IR2117PBF. No alternative package options are documented in this reference.

Q: What is the difference between IR2117 and IR2117PBF?

A: The primary difference is product status. The IR2117 is obsolete, while the IR2117PBF is active. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The IR2117PBF is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are there compliance considerations for part selection?

A: The IR2117 is documented as RoHS non-compliant. Compliance status for IR2117PBF is not specified in the provided data. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should verify the specific compliance documentation for the selected part variant.
