Description
The IRS20957S is a high voltage, high speed MOSFET driver with a floating PWM input designed for Class
D audio amplifier applications.
Bi-directional current sensing detects over current conditions during positive and negative load currents
without any external shunt resistors. A built-in protection control block provides a secure protection
sequence against over-current conditions and a programmable reset timer.
The internal dead-time generation block enables accurate gate switching and optimum dead-time setting
for better audio performance, such as lower THD and lower audio noise floor.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate sustained limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. All
voltage parameters are absolute voltages referenced to VSS; all currents are defined positive into any lead.
The Thermal Resistance and Power Dissipation ratings are measured under board mounted and still air
conditions.
