Description
The IR2121 is a high speed power MOSFET and
IGBT driver with over-current limiting protection cir-
cuitry. Latch immune CMOS technology enables rug-
gedized monolithic construction. Logic inputs are
compatible with standard CMOS or LSTTL outputs,
down to 2.5V logic. The output driver features a
high pulse current buffer stage designed for mini-
mum cross-conduction. The protection circuitry de-
tects over-current in the driven power transistor and
limits the gate drive voltage. Cycle-by-cycle shut-
down is programmed by an external capacitor which

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate sustained limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. All voltage param-
eters are absolute voltages referenced to COM. The Thermal Resistance and Power Dissipation ratings are measured
under board mounted and still air conditions.
