IR2304SPBF datasheet by International Rectifier

IR2304SPBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the IR2304SPBF?
  The maximum operating frequency of the IR2304SPBF is 1 MHz, but it can be operated up to 2 MHz with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure the bootstrap capacitor is properly charged?
  To ensure the bootstrap capacitor is properly charged, make sure the high-side driver is enabled before the low-side driver, and the bootstrap capacitor is sized correctly based on the switching frequency and output current.
• What is the recommended dead time between the high-side and low-side drivers?
  The recommended dead time between the high-side and low-side drivers is typically around 100-200 ns to prevent shoot-through and ensure proper operation.
• Can I use the IR2304SPBF with a different voltage supply?
  The IR2304SPBF is designed to operate with a 15V supply voltage, but it can be used with a different voltage supply within the recommended operating range of 10V to 20V, with proper consideration of the output current and power dissipation.
• How do I protect the IR2304SPBF from overcurrent and overheating?
  To protect the IR2304SPBF from overcurrent and overheating, use a current sense resistor and a thermal monitoring circuit to detect and respond to overcurrent and overheating conditions.
