IR2213 Half-Bridge Gate Driver IC - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IR2213 is a half-bridge gate driver IC manufactured by Infineon Technologies, designed for driving IGBT and N-Channel MOSFET configurations in power management applications. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 12V to 20V and provides independent dual-channel gate driving with peak output currents of 2A (source) and 2.5A (sink). The IR2213 is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IR2213 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Driven configuration (Half-Bridge)
• Number of independent driver channels (2)
• Gate type compatibility (IGBT, N-Channel MOSFET)
• Supply voltage range (12V ~ 20V)
• Logic voltage thresholds (VIL = 6V, VIH = 9.5V)
• Peak output current specifications (Source: 2A, Sink: 2.5A)
• Input signal type (Non-Inverting)
• Bootstrap voltage rating (1200V maximum)
• Timing characteristics (Rise/Fall times: 25ns/17ns)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C)
• Package form factor (14-DIP through-hole)

The IR2213PBF represents a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IR2213PBF is the direct substitute for the obsolete IR2213. Both devices are manufactured by Infineon Technologies and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The IR2213PBF offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The IR2213PBF carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original IR2213 is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to regulatory requirements. Both devices maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements and supply availability. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance, the IR2213PBF is the appropriate choice. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not mandated, either part may be used interchangeably based on inventory and procurement considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IR2213PBF directly replace the IR2213 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The IR2213PBF is electrically and mechanically identical to the IR2213. Both devices feature the same 14-DIP through-hole package, supply voltage range (12V ~ 20V), output current ratings (2A source, 2.5A sink), and timing characteristics. Pin-for-pin compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from IR2213 to IR2213PBF?

A: The IR2213 is classified as obsolete, while the IR2213PBF maintains active product status. This ensures long-term availability, supply chain continuity, and access to current manufacturing processes. Additionally, the IR2213PBF is ROHS3 compliant, meeting modern regulatory standards.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging between IR2213 and IR2213PBF?

A: Both devices use the same 14-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package form factor. The IR2213PBF is supplied in tube packaging, while the original IR2213 packaging specification is not detailed. This does not affect functional compatibility or PCB integration.

Q: What applications are suitable for the IR2213 / IR2213PBF?

A: These devices are designed for half-bridge gate driving applications requiring independent dual-channel control of IGBT or N-Channel MOSFET power switches. Typical applications include DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power inverters operating within the 12V to 20V supply voltage range.

Q: Are there any thermal or environmental considerations when substituting these parts?

A: Both devices operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 150°C (junction temperature). No thermal or environmental derating differences exist between the IR2213 and IR2213PBF. System thermal design remains unchanged.
