The Infineon IR2520DSTRPBF is an integrated gate driver and 600 V ballast control IC with an adaptive 0 V switch. It is designed to eliminate the need for complex, costly external components, and to reduce component count and board space. It has high peak switching current of 1.7A for driving external MOSFETs, adaptable 0 V switch for fast system response time, and separate release switches for both high and low sides. The IC provides short-circuit and overcurrent protection, undervoltage lockout, and short-circuit detection, with advanced shutdown capability. It also features a wide operating temperature range, with an ambient temperature range of -40 to 125°C.
