Title: IR2184 alternative
Post by: toma315 on February 16, 2015, 07:44:06 am

Hello everyone, I'm new here.

I'm trying to design a simple inverter, using a IR2184 to drive two IRFP260 in push-pull mode.  However, the IR2184 is kind of hard to find, so I'm wondering if anyone know of an alternative IC I can use in place of the IR2184?

Thanks much in advance.

IR make a huge range of these http://www.irf.com/product/Gate-Driver-ICs-and-Controllers-General-Purpose-Gate-Driver-ICs/_/N~1njcii (http://www.irf.com/product/Gate-Driver-ICs-and-Controllers-General-Purpose-Gate-Driver-ICs/_/N~1njcii)

Can you define what features you need? Bus voltage, gate voltage, gate drive current, dead-time, complementery outputs, UVLO etc.

The IR2184 appears to be in reasonable quantities at the big guys - digikey, mouse, RS, E14.
