IR2117STR High-Side Gate Driver IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IR2117STR is a high-side gate driver IC manufactured by Infineon Technologies, designed for driving IGBT and N-Channel MOSFET applications. This non-inverting single-channel driver operates with a supply voltage range of 10V to 20V and supports bootstrap voltage up to 600V, making it suitable for power conversion and motor control applications.

The IR2117STR is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and access components with active manufacturing status and current compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IR2117STR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Driven configuration (High-Side)
• Channel type and number of drivers (Single channel, 1 driver)
• Gate type compatibility (IGBT, N-Channel MOSFET)
• Supply voltage range (10V ~ 20V)
• Logic voltage thresholds (VIL 6V, VIH 9.5V)
• Peak output current specifications (Source 250mA, Sink 500mA)
• Input signal type (Non-Inverting)
• Bootstrap voltage rating (600V maximum)
• Timing characteristics (Rise/Fall time 80ns/40ns typical)
• Package form factor (8-SOIC)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C)

The IR2117STRPBF is a direct substitute for the IR2117STR, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging format and compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IR2117STRPBF is the direct functional equivalent of the IR2117STR. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: The IR2117STR is obsolete, while the IR2117STRPBF maintains active manufacturing status. For new designs or long-term supply chain requirements, the IR2117STRPBF is the appropriate choice.

Compliance Certifications: The IR2117STRPBF is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the IR2117STR is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations require the IR2117STRPBF.

Packaging Format: The IR2117STR is supplied in tube packaging, while the IR2117STRPBF is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and high-volume production.

Moisture Sensitivity: The IR2117STR has MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life), while the IR2117STRPBF has MSL 2 (1-year shelf life). Storage and handling procedures must account for the moisture sensitivity level of the selected part.

All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two parts, ensuring direct substitution without circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IR2117STRPBF be used as a direct replacement for the IR2117STR in existing designs?

A: Yes. The IR2117STRPBF is electrically and mechanically identical to the IR2117STR. Both parts share the same 8-SOIC package footprint, supply voltage range, output current ratings, and timing characteristics. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between the IR2117STR and IR2117STRPBF?

A: The primary differences are product status, compliance certification, and packaging format. The IR2117STR is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, supplied in tube packaging. The IR2117STRPBF is active, ROHS3 compliant, and supplied in Tape & Reel format. Electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Why is the IR2117STR classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production of this part number. The IR2117STRPBF represents the current active equivalent from Infineon Technologies.

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

A: No. Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 150°C junction temperature) and deliver identical electrical performance, including rise/fall times, output current, and bootstrap voltage ratings.

Q: What packaging considerations apply when switching from IR2117STR to IR2117STRPBF?

A: The package form factor (8-SOIC) and PCB footprint are identical. The primary consideration is the packaging format: IR2117STR uses tube packaging for manual handling, while IR2117STRPBF uses Tape & Reel format for automated pick-and-place assembly. No PCB layout changes are necessary.

Q: Does the moisture sensitivity level difference affect circuit performance?

A: Moisture sensitivity level (MSL) affects component storage and handling procedures, not circuit performance. The IR2117STRPBF (MSL 2) requires storage in controlled humidity conditions and has a 1-year shelf life from the date of manufacture. Proper handling ensures no performance degradation.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-voltage bootstrap applications?

A: Yes. Both the IR2117STR and IR2117STRPBF support bootstrap voltage up to 600V, making them suitable for high-voltage gate drive applications in power conversion and motor control circuits.
