### **Description:**
The IRS2106 is a high-voltage driver IC designed to control both high-side and low-side N-channel power MOSFETs or IGBTs in a half-bridge configuration. It integrates a high-speed level shifter for the high-side gate drive, ensuring reliable operation in switching applications. The device includes built-in deadtime to prevent shoot-through and features undervoltage lockout protection for both high-side and low-side drivers.
### **Features:**
- **Floating High-Side Driver:** Supports bootstrap operation for high-side drive.
- **Matched Propagation Delays:** Ensures precise timing between high-side and low-side switches.
- **Internal Deadtime Generation:** Prevents cross-conduction.
- **UVLO Protection:** Ensures proper operation under low-voltage conditions.
- **High Noise Immunity:** Robust design for noisy switching environments.
- **CMOS/LSTTL Compatible Inputs:** Easy interfacing with logic-level signals.
- **Lead-Free and RoHS Compliant:** Meets environmental standards.
