IR2130 Half-Bridge Gate Driver IC - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IR2130 is a half-bridge gate driver IC manufactured by Infineon Technologies, designed for driving IGBT and N-Channel MOSFET configurations in 3-phase applications. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 10V to 20V and supports a maximum bootstrap voltage of 600V, making it suitable for power conversion and motor control applications.

The IR2130 is classified as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain reliability, and support legacy system maintenance and repairs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IR2130 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Package and Mounting: 28-DIP through-hole configuration with identical pin pitch (0.600", 15.24mm)
• Functional Configuration: Half-bridge topology with 3-phase, 6-driver capability
• Gate Drive Capability: Support for IGBT and N-Channel MOSFET switching
• Electrical Specifications: Supply voltage range (10V ~ 20V), logic voltage thresholds (0.8V, 2.2V), and bootstrap voltage rating (600V)
• Input Logic Type: Inverting or non-inverting input configurations determine functional compatibility based on circuit design requirements

The IR2130PBF, manufactured by International Rectifier, meets these substitution criteria with the exception of input logic type (non-inverting vs. inverting) and minor variations in output current ratings and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IR2130 and IR2130PBF are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts must account for the following factors:

Input Logic Configuration: The IR2130 features inverting input logic, while the IR2130PBF features non-inverting input logic. This difference requires circuit-level evaluation to determine compatibility with existing control signal conditioning. Direct substitution is only valid if the application circuit accommodates the alternative input logic type.

Output Current Ratings: The IR2130 provides peak output currents of 250mA (source) and 500mA (sink), while the IR2130PBF provides 200mA (source) and 420mA (sink). Applications requiring the higher current specifications of the IR2130 may not be satisfied by the IR2130PBF.

Operating Temperature Range: The IR2130 operates to 150°C (junction temperature), while the IR2130PBF operates to 125°C (ambient temperature). High-temperature applications may require the IR2130 specification.

Compliance Status: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Legacy system maintenance and repair applications may proceed with either part where regulatory compliance is not a design requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IR2130PBF be used as a direct replacement for the IR2130?

A: Direct substitution is not guaranteed. The IR2130PBF differs in input logic type (non-inverting vs. inverting), output current ratings, and maximum operating temperature. Substitution is valid only if the application circuit is compatible with non-inverting input logic and the lower current and temperature specifications are acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of the inverting vs. non-inverting input logic difference?

A: Input logic type determines how the control signals are interpreted by the gate driver. Inverting logic inverts the input signal before driving the output, while non-inverting logic does not. The choice between these parts depends on the signal conditioning already present in the application circuit. Incorrect selection will result in inverted gate drive signals and improper device operation.

Q: Are both parts suitable for new designs?

A: Both the IR2130 and IR2130PBF are classified as obsolete. Neither part is recommended for new designs. Current design efforts should evaluate modern gate driver alternatives that offer improved performance, higher integration, and active manufacturer support.

Q: What are the package compatibility considerations?

A: Both parts use identical 28-DIP through-hole packaging with 0.600" (15.24mm) pin pitch. PCB footprints and mechanical mounting are fully compatible. No layout or mechanical redesign is required for package substitution.

Q: How do the output current specifications affect device selection?

A: Output current ratings determine the maximum gate charge delivery capability to the driven MOSFET or IGBT. The IR2130 provides higher peak currents (250mA source, 500mA sink) compared to the IR2130PBF (200mA source, 420mA sink). Applications with high-frequency switching or large gate capacitances may require the higher current capability of the IR2130.

Q: What compliance considerations apply to these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Applications subject to RoHS regulations cannot use either part. Legacy system maintenance and repair in non-regulated environments may proceed with either part.
