The maximum operating frequency of the IR2125 is 500 kHz, but it can be extended up to 1 MHz with proper PCB design and component selection.
The bootstrap capacitor should be selected based on the maximum voltage rating, ESR, and capacitance value. A general rule of thumb is to choose a capacitor with a voltage rating of at least 2x the maximum voltage of the IC, an ESR of less than 1 ohm, and a capacitance value of at least 10nF.
The recommended dead-time setting for the IR2125 is typically between 100-200 ns, but it may vary depending on the specific application and switching frequency. A longer dead-time can help reduce shoot-through currents, but may also increase switching losses.
The IR2125 has a built-in overcurrent protection feature that can be enabled by connecting the OC pin to a resistor and capacitor network. The resistor value should be chosen based on the desired overcurrent threshold, and the capacitor value should be chosen to filter out noise and ensure reliable operation.
The recommended layout and routing for the IR2125 involves keeping the high-frequency switching nodes (e.g. drain-source voltage) away from sensitive analog nodes, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length and inductance of the power traces. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane and a solid ground plane is recommended.
