IGBT based half bridge board has been designed for multiple applications, like induction heater driver, tesla coil driver, DC-DC converters, SMPS etc. High current and high voltage IGBTs are used to serve high power requirements.
IGBT NGTB40N120FL2WG from ON semi and IR2153 from Infineon semiconductor are important parts of the circuit, IR2153 is a gate driver IC including inbuilt oscillator, 40A/1200V IGBT can handle large current. Gate driver circuit works with 15V DC and load supply 60V DC to 400V DC.
The IR2153D(S) are an improved version of the Popular IR2155 and IR2151 gate driver ICs, and incorporate a high voltage half-bridge gate driver with a front end oscillator similar to the industry standard CMO 555 timer. The IR2153 provides more functionality and is easier to use than previous ICs. A shutdown feature has been designed into the CT pin, so that both gate driver outputs can be disabled using a low voltage control signal. In addition, the gate driver output pulse widths are the same once the rising under voltage lockout threshold on VCC has been reached, resulting in a more stable profile of frequency vs time at startup. Noise immunity has been improved significantly, both by lowering the peak di/dt of the gate drivers, and by increasing the under voltage lockout hysteresis to 1V. Finally, special attention has been played to maximizing the latch immunity of the device, and providing comprehensive ESD protection on all pins.
Oscillation frequency adjustable by onboard Trimmer potentiometer, frequency spans approx. 12 KHz to 100 KHz, duty cycle 50%.
400V – 5A Power Supply For Brushless Motor Drivers is a suitable power supply for this driver.
Notes
- Note 1: The circuit is provided with few extra components which may be used as per application requirement other components can be omitted as stated in BOM
- Note 2: Frequency span is determined by CT Capacitor (C8) and Trimmer Pot value, refer to datasheet for appropriate value for required frequency span. C8 1Kpf, R5=7k5 and PR1=50K provide frequency span 12 kHz to 100 kHz.
- Note 3: Other Mosfet or IGBT can be used as per your current and voltage requirement.
- Note 4: This board can also be used as half-bridge using IR2101 and MOSFET with High PWM Pulse and Low PWM Pulse input or IR2104 with single PWM pulse. Header CN3 provides input Pin1 HIN and Pin2 LIN for that purpose. Omit following components R5, PR1, C8 to use with IR2101/IR2105.
- Note 5: IGBTs require large size heat sink.
Features
- Load Supply 60V to 400V DC
- Gate Driver Supply 15V DC
- Frequency Span 12 KHz to 100 KHz, Other frequency range possible, alter R5, PR1, C8
- Duty Cycle Approx. 50%
- PR1: Trimmer Potentiometer to set the frequency
- CN3: Logic Supply 15V DC
- CN1: Supply DC Input
- CN2 : L1 Load

8 months agoDear sir,
2 years agoI need 6 kw induction heater board with heater coil. It has to be work directly. No need time setting. Output frequency is 15-20 khz. İnput 220 vac 50hz monophase. This system has to heat 80 litres water fastly. (The water is turning continiously via circulation pump with pipe (steel). 5 C to 80 C.
Can you supply this sysems for me or have you any suggestion. İf you can please quote the price.
Regards.
Hallo, can you infotm me, where i can buy assembled moduls?

I left a message 2 months ago and had no response. I have seen other posts on the site and they do not really supply kits. They might supply blank boards but no one responds to this page. Mark

4 weeks agoHello Mike
4 weeks agoI posted a list of questions re: the circuit Can you respond there?
I am not able to answer these specific questions. Please wait if someone else can.
4 weeks agoOK Thank you Mike
4 weeks agoHie Admin. Thank you so much for the post.
I wish to know how I can modify the circuit so that I use it for halfbridge resonant inverter for a domestic induction cooker, and how I can incorporate a microcontroller like arduino for the control and power level adjustments.

2 years agowhat is 1/2V?
2 years ago1/2V is basivally the GND reference for the output voltages.
2 years agoA bit vague the answer. please be more explicit, possibly by example! I built the circuit and want to use it for a Tesla coil powered at a voltage around 48 V DC, from a switching source. Do I connect + to +, – to – and how do I output to TC?
1 month agoThe Tesla Coil picture shows a Transformer TR1. This is a flyback transformer that you can purchase here https://www.amazing1.com/transformers-high-voltage-high-frequency.html That site shows a similar schematic and notes on how to wind the primary. Be very careful there is a lot of power going into the transformer. I am building this circuit and when I power it up I am planning to use a variac to bring up the supply voltage carefully so I dont burn out the IGBTs or the transformer.
1 month agoHi, EL-team,
2 years agomay I get this 1µ 450v caps from you?
Are they usable up to 300 kc ?
If 2 times yes, which procedere, which price for 10 pcs?
*HAGT*
Teslator
The capacitor you mention is 22uF/450V, is that what you need?
2 years ago“OMIT” stands for open circuit or short circuit?
Thank you
1 year agoOMIT means you don’t need to place that part, so open circuit.
1 year agoOmit with shortcircuit or open?
1 year agoCheck for answer above.
1 year agoWhat about the Hin and Lin
1 year agoThe voltage range,wave form and relation between Hin and Lin
The Hin and Lin are PWM signals to drive high side MOSFET and low side MOSFET in case you want to use IR2101 and MOSFET. Check page 5 of IR2101/IR2102 Datasheet embedded above for timing diagrams.
1 year agoGreetings, currently i am developing an induction heating system based on your design.
1 year agoThe components that you mention to omit, are from a snubber, right ?, because it seems that in my application if it is required.
In other order of ideas, in wich program did you develop the pcb? The design is very good, but it is small and because the double layer is difficult to weld. Thanks
Yes, it’s a snubber circuit used to eliminate voltage spikes as the switches goes ON and OFF. It is recommended to be implemented on inductance load. The PCB is developed in Cadece OrCAD and 2 x layers where used to keep overall PCB complexity and size at minimum. If you need a single layer design you will have to design something from scratch.
1 year agoHi everyone !
9 months agoIs this driver IR2153 capable to charge and discharge the gates of IGBT NGTB40N120FL2WG without totem pole transistor ?
I mean those IGBT have over 7nF input capacitance.
Yep, that’s the purpose of driver IC IR2153D. This is designed for IGBTs and MOSFETs.
9 months agoHi !
6 months agoWould you please share the values for snubber circuit; omitted resistors and capacitors ?
I intend to drive inductive load – ferrite core. Expected primary current is up to 10A.
In addition would you please suggest other changes, since my input voltage will be up to +-30V only , oscillator set to 20kHz ? Thank you !
a typical snubber circuit would be 4R7 4W resistor and 4n7 1kV capacitor
6 months agoHello Mike
Q1 – RE: filter caps on power supply – The 400V 5A PS circuit uses 4 x 220 uf 880 /side and the tesla coil PS uses 4 x 1uf caps 4uf/side. Is the reason the Tesla coil does not need as much filtering? Does this effect the current drive to the coil ?
Q2 – Re: Output voltage calculation of power supply – The circuit is 2 full wave rectifier creating a virtual ground. Isn’t the peak voltage 1.414*120 VAC *2 =~ 339 V peak. The filtered voltage being lower? So is the voltage using 220 VAC input 1.414 * 220VAC * 2 = 622 V peak. Can you explain the 400 Volt rating?
Q2 – Re: Power control : I have seen an example of the half bridge driver using a PWM connected to Pin 3 (LIN) to control the power output. Have you ever tried power control using pwm to the output?
Q3 – Re: Resonance : To tune a particular system for resonance is the primary coil impedance the main inductance and the secondary load not a factor?
Q4 -Re: Resonance 2 : Is the 22u caps the capacitance resonance?
Thanks in advance
