IR2101 High and Low Side Driver IC DIP 8 Package

IR2101 High and Low Side Driver IC DIP 8 Package 

The IR2101 is a high-voltage high-side and low-side gate driver IC designed to drive N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in half-bridge power converter applications. It integrates level-shift circuitry and a powerful output stage, allowing reliable control of both the high-side and low-side switching devices.

The high-side driver operates using a bootstrap supply technique, enabling operation at voltages significantly above the system ground. The IR2101 accepts logic-level control inputs and includes built-in protection features to ensure safe and efficient operation. Packaged in a DIP-8 through-hole package, it is well suited for prototyping, educational use, and industrial power electronics designs.
