IR2106SPBF datasheet by International Rectifier

IR2106SPBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the IR2106SPBF?
  The maximum operating frequency of the IR2106SPBF is 1 MHz, but it can be operated up to 2 MHz with some limitations on the deadtime and minimum pulse width.
• How do I calculate the deadtime of the IR2106SPBF?
  The deadtime of the IR2106SPBF can be calculated using the formula: Deadtime (ns) = 1000 / (FOSC x 16), where FOSC is the oscillator frequency in kHz.
• What is the minimum input pulse width required for the IR2106SPBF?
  The minimum input pulse width required for the IR2106SPBF is 50 ns, but it's recommended to use a minimum of 100 ns to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use the IR2106SPBF with a bootstrap capacitor?
  Yes, the IR2106SPBF can be used with a bootstrap capacitor to generate the high-side gate drive voltage. However, the bootstrap capacitor value and charging resistor should be carefully selected to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I protect the IR2106SPBF from shoot-through current?
  To protect the IR2106SPBF from shoot-through current, it's recommended to use a deadtime of at least 100 ns and ensure that the high-side and low-side FETs are not turned on simultaneously.
