IR2214SS/IR22141SS
IR2214
The IR2214SS/IR22141SS) is a gate driver suited to drive
a single half bridge in power switching applications. The
high gate driving capability (2A source, 3A sink) and the
low quiescent current enable bootstrap supply techniques in medium power
systems. The IR2214SS/IR22141SS driver features full short circuit protection by
means of the power transistor desaturation detection. The IR2214SS/IR22141SS
manages all the half-bridge faults by turning off smoothly the desaturated transistor through the dedicated soft shut down pin, therefore preventing over-voltages and reducing EM emissions. In multi-phase system IR2214SS/IR22141SS
drivers communicate using a dedicated local network (SY_FLT and FAULT/SD
signals) to properly manage phase-to-phase short circuits. The system controller
may force shutdown or read device fault state through the 3.3 V compatible CMOS
I/O pin (FAULT/SD). To improve the signal immunity from DC-bus noise, the
control and power ground use
dedicated pins enabling
low-side emitter current
sensing as well. Under voltage

FEATURES DESCRIPTION
1. Start-up sequence
At power supply start-up it is recommended to
keep FLT_CLR pin active until supply voltages
are properly established. This prevents spurious
diagnostic signals being generated. All protection
functions are operating independently from
FLT_CLR status and output driver status reflects
the input commands.
When bootstrap supply topology is used for
supplying the floating high side stage, the
following start-up sequence is recommended
(see also figure 12):
1. Set Vcc
2. Set FLT_CLR pin to HIGH level
3. Set LIN pin to HIGH level and let the
bootstrap capacitor be charged
4. Release LIN pin to LOW level
5. Release FLT_CLR pin to LOW level
2. Normal operation mode
After start-up sequence has been terminated, the
device becomes fully operative (see grey blocks
in the State Diagram).
HIN and LIN produce driver outputs to switch
accordingly, while the input logic checks the input
signals preventing shoot-through events and
including DeadTime (DT).
3. Shut down
The system controller can asynchronously
command the Hard ShutDown (HSD) through the
3.3 V compatible CMOS I/O FAULT/SD pin. This
event is not latched.
In a multi-phase system, FAULT/SD signals are
or-wired so the controller or one of the gate drivers
can force simultaneous shutdown to the other
gate drivers through the same pin.
4. Fault management
IR2214 is able to manage both the supply failure
(undervoltage lock out on both low and high side
circuits) and the desaturation of both power
transistors.

A minimum 15µs LIN and FLT-CLR pulse is

4.1 Undervoltage (UV)
The Undervoltage protection function disables the
driver’s output stage preventing the power device
being driven with too low voltages.
Both the low side (VCC supplied) and the floating
side (VBS supplied) are controlled by a dedicate
undervoltage function.
Undervoltage event on the V CC (when
VCC < UVVCC-) generates a diagnostic signal by
forcing FAULT/SD pin low (see FAULT/SD section
and figure 14). This event disables both low side
and floating drivers and the diagnostic signal holds
until the under voltage condition is over. Fault
condition is not latched and the FAULT/SD pin is
released once VCC becomes higher than UVVCC+.
www.irf.com
ADVANCE DATA
The undervoltage on the VBS works disabling only
the floating driver. Undervoltage on VBS does not
prevent the low side driver to activate its output
nor generate diagnostic signals. VBS undervoltage
condition (VBS < UVVBS-) latches the high side
output stage in the low state. VBS must be
reestablished higher than UVVBS+ to return in
normal operating mode. To turn on the floating
driver HIN must be re-asserted high (rising edge
event on HIN is required).
4.2 Power devices desaturation
Different causes can generate a power inverter
failure: phase and/or rail supply short-circuit,
overload conditions induced by the load, etc…
In all these fault conditions a large current
increase is produced in the IGBT.
The IR2214 fault detection circuit monitors the
IGBT emitter to collector voltage (VCE) by means
IR2214/IR22141(SS)
of an external high voltage diode. High current in
the IGBT may cause the transistor to desaturate,
i.e. VCE to increase.
Once in desaturation, the current in power
transistor can be as high as 10 times the nominal
current. Whenever the transistor is switched off,
this high current generates relevant voltage
transients in the power stage that need to be
smoothed out in order to avoid destruction (by
over-voltages). The IR2214 gate driver accomplish
the transients control by smoothly turning off the
desaturated transistor by means of the SSD pin
activating a so called Soft ShutDown sequence
(SSD).

Figure 14: fault management diagram
The external sensing diode should have
BV>1200V and low stray capacitance (in order
to minimize noise coupling and switching delays). The diode is biased by an internal pull-up
resistor RDSH/L (equal to VCC/IDS- or VBS/IDS- for
IR2214) or by a dedicated circuit (see the activebias section for the IR22141). When VCE increases, the voltage at DSH/L pin increases too.
Being internally biased to the local supply,
DSH/L voltage is automatically clamped. When
DSH/L exceeds the VDESAT+ threshold the comparator triggers (see figure 13). Comparator
output is filtered in order to avoid false
desaturation detection by externally induced
noise; pulses shorter than tDS are filtered out. To
avoid detecting a false desaturation during IGBT
turn on, the desaturation circuit is disabled by a
Blanking signal (TBL, see Blanking block in figure 13). This time is the estimated maximum
IGBT turn on time and must be not exceeded by
proper gate resistance sizing. When the IGBT is
16
not completely saturated after TBL, desaturation
is detected and the driver will turn off.
Eligible desaturation signals initiate the Soft
Shutdown sequence (SSD). While in SSD, the
output driver goes in high impedance and the
SSD pull-down is activated to turn off the IGBT
through SSDH/L pin. The SY_FLT output pin
(active low, see figure 14) reports the IR2214
status all the way long SSD sequence lasts (tSS).
Once finished SSD, SYS_FLT releases, and
IR2214 generates a FAULT signal (see the
FAULT/SD section) by activating FAULT/SD pin.
This generates a hard shut down for both high
and low output stages (HO=LO=low). Each driver
is latched low until the fault is cleared (see
FLT_CLR).
Figure 14 shows the fault management circuit.
In this diagram DesatHS and DesatLS are two
internal signals that come from the output stages
(see figure 13).

It must be noted that while in Soft Shut Down,
both Under Voltage fault and external Shut Down
(SD) are masked until the end of SSD.
Desaturation protection is working independently
by the other entire control pin and it is disabled
only when the output status is off.
4.2.2 Fault management in multi-phase
systems
In a system with two or more gate drivers the
IR2214 devices must be connected as in figure 15.
SY_FLT.
The bi-directional SY_FLT pins communicate
each other in the local network. The logic signal
is active low.
The device that detects the IGBT desaturation
activates the SY_FLT, which is then read by the
other gate drivers. When SYS_FLT is active all
the drivers hold their output state regardless the
input signals (HIN, LIN) they receive from the
controller (freeze state).
This feature is particularly important in phasewww.irf.com
to-phase short circuit where two IGBTs are
involved; in fact, while one is softly shutting-down,
the other must be prevented from hard shutdown
to avoid vanishing SSD.
In the Freeze state the frozen drivers are not
completely inactive because desaturation
detection still takes the highest priority.
SY_FLT communication has been designed for
creating a local network between the drivers.
There is no need to wire SY_FLT to the controller.
FAULT/SD
The bi-directional FAULT/SD pins communicates
each other and with the system controller. The
logic signal is active low.
When low, the FAULT/SD signal commands the
outputs to go off by hard shutdown. There are
three events that can force FAULT/SD low:
1. Desaturation detection event: the
FAULT\SD pin is latched low when SSD
is over, and only a FLT_CLR signal can
reset it.

5. Active bias
For the purpose of sensing the power transistor
desaturation the collector voltage is read by an
external HV diode. The diode is normally biased
by an internal pull up resistor connected to the
local supply line (VB or VCC). When the transistor
is “on” the diode is conducting and the amount
of current flowing in the circuit is determined by
the internal pull up resistor value.
In the high side circuit, the desaturation biasing
current may become relevant for dimensioning
the bootstrap capacitor (see figure 19). In fact,
too low pull up resistor value may result in high
current discharging significantly the bootstrap
capacitor. For that reason typical pull up resistor
are in the range of 100 kΩ. This is the value of
the internal pull up.
While the impedance of DSH/DSL pins is very
low when the transistor is on (low impedance
path through the external diode down to the power
transistor), the impedance is only controlled by
the pull up resistor when the transistor is off. In
that case relevant dV/dt applied by the power
transistor during the commutation at the output
results in a considerable current injected through
the stray capacitance of the diode into the
desaturation detection pin (DSH/L). This coupled
noise may be easily reduced using an active bias
for the sensing diode.
18
An Active Bias structure is available only for
IR22141 version for DSH/L pin. The DSH/L pins
present an active pull-up respectively to VB/VCC,
and a pull-down respectively to VS/COM.
The dedicated biasing circuit reduces the
impedance on the DSH/L pin when the voltage
exceeds the VDESAT threshold (see figure 16). This
low impedance helps in rejecting the noise
providing the current inject by the parasitic
capacitance. When the power transistor is fully
on, the sensing diode gets forward biased and
the voltage at the DSH/L pin decreases. At this
point the biasing circuit deactivates, in order to
reduce the bias current of the diode as shown in
figure 16.

2. Undervoltage on VCC: the FAULT\SD pin
is forced low and held until the
undervoltage is active (not latched).
3. FAULT/SD is externally driven low either
from the controller or from another
IR2214 device. This event is not latched;
therefore the FLT_CLR cannot disable
it. Only when FAULT/SD becomes high
the device returns in normal operating
mode.

6. Output stage
The structure is shown in figure 13 and consists
of two turns on stages and one turn off stage.
When the driver turns on the IGBT (see figure 8),
a first stage is constantly activated while an
additional stage is maintained active only for a
limited time (ton1). This feature boost the total
driving capability in order to accommodate both
fast gate charge to the plateau voltage and dV/dt

If VGEmin is the minimum gate emitter voltage we

Bootstrap supply
The VBS voltage provides the supply to the high
side driver circuitry of the IR2214. This supply
sits on top of the VS voltage and so it must be
floating.
The bootstrap method to generate VBS supply
can be used with IR2214. The bootstrap supply
is formed by a diode and a capacitor connected

This method has the advantage of being simple
and low cost but may force some limitations on
duty-cycle and on-time since they are limited by
the requirement to refresh the charge in the bootstrap capacitor.
Proper capacitor choice can reduce drastically
these limitations.
Bootstrap capacitor sizing
To size the bootstrap capacitor, the first step is
to establish the minimum voltage drop (∆VBS)
that we have to guarantee when the high side
IGBT is on.

where VCC is the IC voltage supply, VF is bootstrap diode forward voltage, VCEon is emitter-collector voltage of low side IGBT and VBSUV- is the

- IGBT turn on required Gate charge (QG);
- IGBT gate-source leakage current (ILK_GE);
- Floating section quiescent current (IQBS);
- Floating section leakage current (ILK)
- Bootstrap diode leakage current (ILK_DIODE);
- Desat diode bias when on (IDS- )
- Charge required by the internal level shifters
(QLS); typical 20nC
- Bootstrap capacitor leakage current (ILK_CAP);
- High side on time (THON).
ILK_CAP is only relevant when using an electrolytic
capacitor and can be ignored if other types of
capacitors are used. It is strongly recommend
using at least one low ESR ceramic capacitor
(paralleling electrolytic and low ESR ceramic
may result in an efficient solution).
Then we have:

∆VBS
NOTICE: Here above VCC has been cho-
sen to be 15V. Some IGBTs may require
higher supply to work correctly with the bootstrap technique. Also Vcc variations must be
accounted in the above formulas.
An example follows:
a) using a 25A @ 125C IGBT (IRGP30B120KD):
Some important considerations
• IQBS = 800 µA (See Static Electrical Charact.);
a. Voltage ripple
There are three different cases making the bootstrap circuit gets conductive (see figure 19):
• ILK = 50 µA (See Static Electrical Charact.);
• QLS = 20 nC;
• QG = 160 nC (Datasheet IRGP30B120KD);
• ILK_GE = 100 nA (Datasheet IRGP30B120KD);
• ILK_DIODE = 100 µA (with reverse recovery
time <100 ns);
• ILK_CAP = 0 (neglected for ceramic capacitor);
• IDS- = 150 µA (see Static Electrical Charact.);
• THON = 100 µs.
• ILOAD < 0; the load current flows in the low
side IGBT displaying relevant VCEon
VBS = VCC − VF − VCEon
In this case we have the lowest value for VBS.
This represents the worst case for the bootstrap
capacitor sizing. When the IGBT is turned off
the Vs node is pushed up by the load current
until the high side freewheeling diode get forwarded biased
And:
• ILOAD = 0; the IGBT is not loaded while being on and VCE can be neglected
• VCC = 15 V
• VF = 1 V
V BS = VCC − V F
• VCEonmax = 3.1 V
• VGEmin = 10.5 V
• ILOAD > 0; the load current flows through the
freewheeling diode
the maximum voltage drop ∆VBS becomes
∆VBS ≤ VCC − VF − VGEmin − VCEon =
= 15V − 1V − 10.5V − 3.1V = 0.4V
and the boodstrap capacitor is:
CBOOT ≥
22
290 nC
= 725 nF
0.4 V
VBS = VCC − VF + VFP
In this case we have the highest value for VBS.
Turning on the high side IGBT, ILOAD flows into
it and VS is pulled up.
To minimize the risk of undervoltage, bootstrap
capacitor should be sized according to the
ILOAD<0 case.
www.irf.com
IR2214/IR22141(SS)
ADVANCE DATA
b. Bootstrap Resistor
A resistor (Rboot) is placed in series with bootstrap diode (see figure 19) so to limit the current
when the bootstrap capacitor is initially charged.
We suggest not exceeding some Ohms (typically 5, maximum 10 Ohm) to avoid increasing
the VBS time-constant. The minimum on time for
charging the bootstrap capacitor or for refreshing its charge must be verified against this timeconstant.
c. Bootstrap Capacitor
For high THON designs where is used an electrolytic tank capacitor, its ESR must be considered. This parasitic resistance forms a voltage
divider with Rboot generating a voltage step on VBS
at the first charge of bootstrap capacitor. The
voltage step and the related speed (dVBS/dt)
should be limited. As a general rule, ESR should
meet the following constraint:
Gate resistances
The switching speed of the output transistor can
be controlled by properly size the resistors controlling the turn-on and turn-off gate current. The
following section provides some basic rules for
sizing the resistors to obtain the desired switching time and speed by introducing the equivalent
output resistance of the gate driver (RDRp and
RDRn).
The examples always use IGBT power transistor. Figure 20 shows the nomenclature used in
the following paragraphs. In addition, Vge* indicates the plateau voltage, Qgc and Qge indicate
the gate to collector and gate to emitter charge
respectively.
VGE
ESR
⋅ VCC ≤ 3V
ESR + RBOOT
Parallel combination of small ceramic and large
electrolytic capacitors is normally the best compromise, the first acting as fast charge thank for
the gate charge only and limiting the dVBS/dt by
reducing the equivalent resistance while the second keeps the VBS voltage drop inside the desired ∆VBS.
d. Bootstrap Diode
The diode must have a BV> 1200V and a fast
recovery time (trr < 100 ns) to minimize the
amount of charge fed back from the bootstrap
capacitor to VCC supply

PCB LAYOUT TIPS
Distance from H to L voltage:
The IR2214 pin out maximizes the distance between floating (from DC- to DC+) and low voltage
pins. It’s strongly recommended to place components tied to floating voltage in the high voltage side of device (VB, VS side) while the other
components in the opposite side.
Ground plane:
Ground plane must not be placed under or
nearby the high voltage floating side to minimize
noise coupling.
Gate drive loops:
Current loops behave like an antenna able to receive and transmit EM noise. In order to reduce
EM coupling and improve the power switch turn
on/off performances, gate drive loops must be
reduced as much as possible. Figure 23 shows
the high and low side gate loops.
Moreover, current can be injected inside the gate
drive loop via the IGBT collector-to-gate parasitic
capacitance. The parasitic auto-inductance of the
gate loop contributes to develop a voltage across
the gate-emitter increasing the possibility of self
turn-on effect. For this reason is strongly recommended to place the three gate resistances close
together and to minimize the loop
area (see figure 23).
IR2214 output stages are able to quickly turn on
IGBT with up to 2 A of output current. The supply capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the device pins (VCC and VSS for the
ground tied supply, VB and VS for the floating
supply) in order to minimize parasitic inductance/
resistance.
Routing and placement example:
Figure 24 shows one of the possible layout solutions using a 3 layer PCB. This example takes
into account all the previous considerations.
Placement and routing for supply capacitors and
gate resistances in the high and low voltage side
minimize respectively supply path and gate drive
loop. The bootstrap diode is placed under the
device to have the cathode as close as possible
to bootstrap capacitor and the anode far from
high voltage and close to VCC.
