U2181C is a 600 V SOP-8 half-bridge MOSFET/IGBT gate driver with a bootstrap high-side channel and 2.0 A/2.5 A pulsed source/sink capability.

Best for

  • 600 V half-bridge MOSFET or IGBT stages
  • Motor-drive and appliance power stages
  • Bootstrap high-side gate drive

Avoid if

  • A documented integrated dead-time or interlock function is required
  • A high-side channel must remain on indefinitely without a separate floating supply

Check before use

  • VB-to-VS bootstrap voltage during operation
  • External dead time between HIN and LIN
  • Gate-loop layout and gate-resistor values
  • SOP-8 thermal and isolation constraints
