IR2183SPbF datasheet by International Rectifier

IR2183SPbF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the IR2183SPBF?
  The maximum operating frequency of the IR2183SPBF is 500 kHz, but it can be operated up to 1 MHz with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure proper bootstrap capacitor selection for the IR2183SPBF?
  The bootstrap capacitor should be selected based on the maximum operating frequency, voltage rating, and current requirements. A general rule of thumb is to use a capacitor with a value of 10-22 nF and a voltage rating of 25-50 V.
• What is the purpose of the VCC pin on the IR2183SPBF?
  The VCC pin is used to power the internal logic and gate drive circuits of the IR2183SPBF. It should be connected to a stable voltage source between 10-20 V.
• How do I protect the IR2183SPBF from overvoltage and undervoltage conditions?
  The IR2183SPBF has built-in overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage protection (UVP) circuits. However, additional external protection circuits may be required depending on the application. It is recommended to use a voltage regulator or a voltage supervisor to ensure the input voltage remains within the specified range.
• What is the maximum power dissipation of the IR2183SPBF?
  The maximum power dissipation of the IR2183SPBF is dependent on the package type and operating conditions. For the SPBF package, the maximum power dissipation is 2.5 W. However, it is recommended to keep the power dissipation below 1.5 W to ensure reliable operation.
