IGBT/MOSFET Gate Drive
The IRS2890D HVICs are designed to drive MOSFET or IGBT power devices. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate several
parameters associated with the gate drive functionality of the HVIC. The output current of the HVIC, used to drive
the gate of the power switch, is defined as IO. The voltage that drives the gate of the external power switch is
defined as VHO for the high-side power switch and VLO for the low-side power switch; this parameter is sometimes
generically called VOUT and in this case does not differentiate between the high-side or low-side output voltage.

Switching and Timing Relationships
The relationships between the input and output signals of the IRS2890D are illustrated below in Figures 3. From
these figures, we can see the definitions of several timing parameters (i.e., PW IN, PW OUT, tON, tOFF, tR, and tF)
associated with this device.

Figure 3: Switching time waveforms
The following two figures illustrate the timing relationships of some of the functionality of the IRS2890D; this
functionality is described in further detail later in this document.
During interval A of Figure 4, the HVIC has received the command to turn-on both the high- and low-side switches
at the same time; as a result, the shoot-through protection of the HVIC has prevented this condition and both the
high- and low-side output are held in the off state.
Interval B of Figures 4 and 5 shows that the signal on the ITRIP input pin has gone from a low to a high state; as a
result, all of the gate drive outputs have been disabled (i.e., see that HO has returned to the low state; LO is also
held low), and a fault condition is reported on the RFE pin, which goes 0V. Once the ITRIP input has returned to the
low state, the output will remain disabled and the fault condition reported until the voltage on the RFE pin charges
up to VRFE+ threshold (see interval C in Figure 4); the charging characteristics are dictated by the RC network
attached to the RFE pin.
During interval E of Figure 4 and 6, we can see that the RFE pin has been pulled low (as is the case when the
driver IC has received a command from the control IC to shutdown); these results in the outputs (HO and LO) being
held in the low state until the RFE pin is pulled high.

Deadtime
This HVIC features integrated deadtime protection circuitry. The deadtime for these ICs is fixed; other ICs within
IR’s HVIC portfolio feature programmable deadtime for greater design flexibility. The deadtime feature inserts a
time period (a minimum deadtime) in which both the high- and low-side power switches are held off; this is done to
ensure that the power switch being turned off has fully turned off before the second power switch is turned on. This
minimum deadtime is automatically inserted whenever the external deadtime is shorter than DT; external
deadtimes larger than DT are not modified by the gate driver.
Matched Propagation Delays
The IRS2890D HVIC is designed with propagation delay matching circuitry. With this feature, the IC’s response at
the output to a signal at the input requires approximately the same time duration (i.e., t ON, tOFF) for both the low-side
channels and the high-side channels; the maximum difference is specified by the delay matching parameter (MT).
The propagation turn-on delay (tON) of the IRS2890D is matched to the propagation turn-on delay (tOFF).

Input Logic Compatibility
The inputs of this IC are compatible with standard CMOS and TTL outputs. The IRS2890D has been designed to
be compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level signals. Figure 8 illustrates an input signal to the IRS2890D, its input
threshold values, and the logic state of the IC as a result of the input signal.
Figure 8: HIN & LIN input thresholds
Undervoltage Lockout Protection
This HVIC provides undervoltage lockout protection on both the V CC (logic and low-side circuitry) power supply and
the VBS (high-side circuitry) power supply. Figure 9 is used to illustrate this concept; VCC (or VBS) is plotted over
time and as the waveform crosses the UVLO threshold (VCCUV+/- or VBSUV+/-) the undervoltage protection is enabled
or disabled.
Upon power-up, should the VCC voltage fail to reach the VCCUV+ threshold, the IC will not turn-on. Additionally, if the
VCC voltage decreases below the VCCUV- threshold during operation, the undervoltage lockout circuitry will recognize
a fault condition and shutdown the high- and low-side gate drive outputs, and the FAULT pin will transition to the
low state to inform the controller of the fault condition.
Upon power-up, should the VBS voltage fail to reach the VBSUV threshold, the IC will not turn-on. Additionally, if the
VBS voltage decreases below the VBSUV threshold during operation, the undervoltage lockout circuitry will recognize
a fault condition, and shutdown the high-side gate drive outputs of the IC.
The UVLO protection ensures that the IC drives the external power devices only when the gate supply voltage is
sufficient to fully enhance the power devices. Without this feature, the gates of the external power switch could be
driven with a low voltage, resulting in the power switch conducting current while the channel impedance is high; this

The IRS2890D is equipped with shoot-through protection circuitry (also known as cross-conduction prevention
circuitry). Figure 10 shows how this protection circuitry prevents both the high- and low-side switches from
conducting at the same time. Table 1 illustrates the input/output relationship of the devices in the form of a truth

Enable Input
The IRS2890D provides an enable functionality that allows it to shutdown or enable the HVIC. When the RFE pin
is in the high state the HVIC is able to operate normally (assuming no other under voltage fault conditions on Vcc).
When the RFE pin is in a low state, the gate drive outputs are pulled low until the enable condition is restored. The
enable circuitry of the IRS2890D features an input filter; the minimum input duration is specified by t FIL,EN. Please
refer to the RFE pin parameters VRFE+, VRFE-, and IRFE for the details of its use. Table 2 gives a summary of this
pin’s functionality.

Fault Reporting and Programmable Fault Clear Timer
The IRS2890D provides an integrated fault reporting output and an adjustable fault clear timer. There are two
situations that would cause the HVIC to report a fault via the RFE pin. The first is an undervoltage condition of V CC
and the second is if the ITRIP pin recognizes a fault. Once the fault condition occurs, the RFE pin is internally
pulled to COM and the fault clear timer is activated. The RFE output stays in the low state until the fault condition
has been removed and the fault clear timer expires; once the fault clear timer expires, the voltage on the RFE pin
will return to its external pull-up voltage.
The length of the fault clear time period (tFLTCLR) is determined by exponential charging characteristics of the
capacitor where the time constant is set by RRFE and CRFE. Figure 11 shows that RRFE is connected between the
external supply (VDD) and the RFE pin, while CRFE is placed between the RFE and COM pins.

tFLTCLR = -(RRFE*CRFE)*ln(1-VRFE+/VDD ) + 100ns
The voltage on the RFE pin should not exceed the VDD of the uC power supply.
Over-Current Protection
The IRS2890D HVICs are equipped with an ITRIP input pin. This functionality can be used to detect over-current
events in the DC- bus. Once the HVIC detects an over-current event through the ITRIP pin, the outputs are
shutdown, and RFE is pulled to COM.
The level of current at which the over-current protection is initiated is determined by the resistor network (i.e., R 0,
R1, and R2) connected to ITRIP as shown in Figure 12, and the ITRIP threshold (V ITRIP+). The circuit designer will
need to determine the maximum allowable level of current in the DC- bus and select R0, R1, and R2 such that the
voltage at node VX reaches the over-current threshold (VITRIP+) at that current level.

Truth Table: Undervoltage lockout, ITRIP, and ENABLE
Table 4 provides the truth table for the IRS2890D. The first line shows that the UVLO for VCC has been tripped; the
RFE output has gone low and the gate drive outputs have been disabled. VCCUV is not latched in this case and
when VCC is greater than VCCUV, the FAULT output returns the driver is functional.

The second case shows that the UVLO for VBS has been tripped and that the high-side gate drive outputs have
been disabled. After VBS exceeds the VBSUV threshold, HO will stay low until the HVIC input receives a new rising
transition of HIN. The third case shows the normal operation of the HVIC. The fourth case illustrates that the ITRIP
trip threshold has been reached and that the gate drive outputs have been disabled. This condition is stored in the
external RC network waiting for fault clear time. The last case shows when the HVIC has received an enable
command through the RFE input to shutdown; as a result, the gate drive outputs have been disabled.
