IR2110 IR 2110 IC High and Low Side MOSFET Driver
The IR2110 is a powerful, high-voltage, high-speed power MOSFET and IGBT driver with independent high and low side referenced output channels. Designed by Infineon Technologies, this IC is widely adopted in inverter circuits, motor control systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and switch mode power supplies (SMPS).
It can operate at voltages up to 600V and can deliver output currents up to 2A, making it perfect for half-bridge or full-bridge driving topologies. The logic level input is compatible with TTL and CMOS standards, allowing it to easily interface with microcontrollers like the ATmega328P, PIC16F887, or even Arduino-based development boards.
The IR2110 features under-voltage lockout (UVLO), shoot-through protection, and high-speed response, making it reliable and efficient in high-performance switching designs. Its 14-pin DIP package ensures easy prototyping and breadboard compatibility.

⚠️ Precautions
-
Use bootstrap capacitors with appropriate values for high-side switching.
-
Ensure Vcc and Vs have proper bypass capacitors (typically 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF electrolytic).
-
Avoid floating logic inputs—tie them high or low via pull-up/down resistors.
-
Ensure dead-time control to prevent shoot-through damage.
