Instructions for IR2184STRPBF (IRF2184S SOP-8)

1. Power Supply Connection:

   • Connect V_DD to the positive supply voltage (10V to 20V).
   • Connect V_SS to ground.

2. Gate Drive Signals:

   • Apply gate drive signals to the IN (input) pin.
   • The driver will output the appropriate high-side or low-side gate drive signals to the HO (high-side output) and LO (low-side output) pins.

3. Bootstrap Capacitor:

   • For high-side operation, connect a bootstrap capacitor between the HO and VS (source) pins.
   • Ensure the bootstrap capacitor is rated for at least the maximum supply voltage and has low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance).

4. Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO):

   • The device will shut down if the supply voltage drops below the UVLO threshold (9.5V to 10.5V).

5. Thermal Management:

   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation to keep the junction temperature within the specified range (up to 150°C).
   • Use a heatsink if necessary, especially under high current conditions.

6. Storage and Handling:

   • Store the device in a dry environment within the temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.
   • Handle with care to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

7. Package Information:

   • The IR2184STRPBF is packaged in an SOP-8 (Small Outline Package with 8 pins).
   • Ensure proper soldering and mounting techniques to avoid mechanical stress on the package.

8. Safety and Compliance:

   • Follow all relevant safety standards and regulations when designing circuits that use this component.
   • Refer to the datasheet for detailed electrical and mechanical specifications.
