The IR2110 from Infineon Technologies is a high-voltage, high-speed half-bridge gate driver IC designed for driving MOSFETs and IGBTs in power electronics applications. Housed in a 14-pin DIP (Through Hole) package, it operates from a 3.3V to 20V supply and supports bootstrap operation with a maximum high-side voltage of 500V. This obsolete part remains relevant for legacy designs due to its robust performance, featuring independent high- and low-side outputs with 2A peak source/sink current capability.
The IR2110 excels in high-voltage, high-speed switching applications, offering low propagation delays and strong drive capability. While marked obsolete, its proven reliability in motor drives, SMPS, and industrial systems makes it a preferred choice for legacy or cost-sensitive designs. Engineers value its bootstrap flexibility and dual-channel independence, though newer alternatives may offer enhanced features. For half-bridge topologies requiring robust performance, the IR2110 remains a compelling solution.
